GTA 6 is no longer 2026's most expensive game as $150 EA Sports FC 27 edition drops

Electronic Arts has announced the most expensive edition in its EA Sports FC series ever, usurping the GTA VI Ultimate Edition at a whopping $150. But is it good value?

Like most items we buy in life, value is purely subjective to the buyer. For a devoted gamer of any series, $150 might be good value, but for someone who has no interest in that series, spending $150 is a mind-boggling concept. That concept couldn't be truer than the newly-announced EA Sports FC 27 Ultimate Plus Edition.

Yes, that’s right, the most expensive edition in EA’s popular football series is no longer the typical Ultimate Edition, because we now have the Ultimate Plus Edition, which costs a mighty $149.99/£139.99.
