EA Sports FC 26 could still attract up to 10 million active layers each day

Football sims are still extremely popular. Of course, Electronic Arts reigns supreme with the EA Sports FC franchise.

While EA Sports FC 27 is set to be released on September 25, last year’s installment still seems to enjoy immense popularity. This was reported by Nate Miller, a YouTuber specializing in soccer games, on his channel.

In one of his videos, the content creator explained that he had spoken with a developer at EA. The developer reportedly told him that EA Sports FC 26 reached a peak of 9.8 million daily active players in late June/early July. Of course, the World Cup may have helped boost these numbers, though this is still very impressive for a game that will soon celebrate its first anniversary. It also demonstrates the immense success of the franchise with each new release.
