Earlier today, an oversight from EA allowed some Xbox gamers who pre-ordered FC 25 Coins to play their preloaded versions of the game for a short while. Though the company reportedly addressed the issue almost immediately, the mistake still resulted in one of the largest game leaks in recent memory. Enough users were apparently even able to access the newly revamped FC 25 Ultimate Team mode that its FC 25 Ultimate Team service started returning in-game errors, prompting players to try logging in later due to "a high volume of server traffic" that it was experiencing.

According to the leak, Messi, Mbappe, Benzema, and Lewandowski will be the highest-rated players in FC 25. with all four of them boasting a 91 rating. They will be followed by Mane at 90 and Neymar at 89. while both Donnarumma and Marquinhos will be rated at 88. Atletico Madrid and Liverpool's third kits were also prematurely revealed as a result of this inadvertent access period. The same goes for the FC 25 soundtrack, whose song list is as varied as one would expect from a modern FC game, with EA once again opting to license work from relatively unknown artists over global hits.

Still, out of the 56 leaked tracks, some might recognize songs such as Rosalia's "Saoko" or "Ojitos Lindos" by Bad Bunny and Bomba Estereo. Overall, this certainly isn't the prelude to the FC 25 launch that EA was hoping for. It is also not the first major blunder that the company made in preparation for its release; earlier this month, some fans managed to pre-order FC 25 for just over a nickel on PC, with EA subsequently vowing to honor all such purchases.

Following the dissolution of the legendary EA Sports- FC partnership, both companies have revealed that FC 25 Ultimate Teamure games will be released, with EA Sports adopting the title EA Sports FC and FC promising to continue to release games under its name. This ultimately means that the two companies will start competing in the soccer video game market, and while EA Sports revealed that many fan-favorite game modes will feature in EA Sports buy EA FC Coins games, such as VOLTA and FC 25 Ultimate Team, FC has remained silent about what its FC 25 Ultimate Teamure games have in store for fans.
