Free FIFA 14 on Xbox One only with Day One Edition preorders

Microsoft clarifies that bundled copies of FIFA 14 will only come with preorders of a European Xbox One Day One Edition.

1017 Comments

Microsoft has clarified that only European preorders of the Xbox One Day One Edition will be eligible for a free copy of FIFA 14 when the console launches this November.

No Caption Provided

During Gamescom 2013, Microsoft announced that all Xbox One preorders in Europe would receive a download code for the latest iteration of EA's long-running football series.

Microsoft has not confirmed whether a similar promotion will take place in North America.

"Had a few questions on this so wanted to clarify: FIFA 14 will only come free with Xbox One Day One Edition pre-orders, while stocks last," tweeted Xbox community manager Graeme "AceyBongos" Boyd earlier today.

"If you have already preordered a Day One Edition Xbox One, or preorder one from now on while stocks last, you will receive FIFA 14 free."

Amazon UK has currently run out of its current allocation of Day One Edition preorders, but other major retailers still have stock. The Day One Edition of the Xbox One comes with a custom commemorative controller and a code to unlock an exclusive Day One Achievement.

"Another important note--the Day One Edition Xbox One FIFA 14 offer is valid in Europe, this holiday, while stocks last," added Boyd.

The Xbox One will launch this November for £429/€499/$499.

honestly in the end its the games that matter, not the consoles, I wish people would just get over everything and realize that as time goes on you will be enjoying amazing games from both companies

@DeadlyXxSilence Yes, games are what matters in the end, but this mostly about the way MS in reaching out to their customers which is done very poorly

We're giving everyone a free copy of Fifa 14, just to clarify "No we're not" Microsoft and EA seem to be doing a lot of clarification lately, what on earth are they going to clarify next ????

Seems that Microsoft knows it must try extra hard to win over Europe. England seems to be the second largest Xbox brand Stronghold that MS has Xbox 360 did very well. "Over there" Since Soccer is massively popular in Europe. Offering a Fifa 14 as a Pack in game. Should help Microsoft promote Xbox one in the rest of Europe. Which seems like MS is doing it's best to do. Xbox One other than U.S.A and England seems to be facing an uphill battle. Tough sell this round for the Xbox brand. Packing in Fifa 14 in U.S.A wouldn't really work since soccer is not that popular in North America. Rest of the World Soccer is football and is king. but in U.S.A Soccer just is not as popular. MS seems to be doing it's best to win Europe.

@Techtroll I was primed to get the next Xbox over the PS4 but the price and policies killed it for me. Even though they have backtracked on most they have lost my sale.

For now at least.

@Dictatroll @edviges if you prefer FPS, then yes 360 was a better choice for that, but for the rest it goes to the PS3

it's going to be the same thing this generation, XBONE is gonna have the superior online, but PS4 is gonna have great exclusives. I'm gonna get both systems eventually, but I'm getting the XBONE first. Mainly cause I actually like to play online a lot and want the superior online service, when it comes to competitive multiplayer that is.

@DeadlyXxSilence Can't really call XBL superior to anything. It's your internet service provider doing most of the work. For example I have Clear Wireless , with my connection a 5 or so gb game will take so many hours to download to my 360 even though it's wired directly to the modem I end up having to let it download over night. So as you cn see its not even XBL thats superior its your internet (and I assume you have a speedy router). Hell once when I was playing mine craft some fencing unrendered due to lag and a chicken escaped

@DeadlyXxSilence Most of us will get both eventually. It just might be a while until MS sees the light and changes their misguided ways. When they do we are sold.

@Psycho_truth PS4 has 4 FPS games in the top 10 (and 3 fps make up the top 3) whereas Xbox One has only 3 and they say Xbox is only for bro shooters?

At this point MS should give 3-months free Xbox Live to all who purchase an Xbox One. The financial loss to MS would negligible and it has real value to consumers. Free games are hit and miss and it would lighten the load of being forced to pay for the Kinect.

@max-hit @freedom01 at this point all I could say if you cannot buy all the consoles is to chose one main which will have your preferred games, and since most of the big title games are multiplat there should be no problem with any consoles.

@freedom01 It's not a matter of price tags, it's a matter of options. The developers take our options away and force us to accept whatever they throw at us. I want to be in charge of what machine I play the game with. But with this so called "competition" we have to buy all the gaming machines to play the games we like.

@Stevo_the_gamer Right like when they make exclusive titles and many of the consumers don't get to play them because they can't afford to buy every single gaming machine that is available on the market.
