Bineinteles ca EA sunt mai cu mot

One issue that became apparent on Thursday is that Smart Delivery is not as simple as it sounds — and that’s because of third-party publishers. Microsoft has committed to offering Smart Delivery for all Xbox Game Studios titles, and other companies are welcome to join the program. A number of third parties have done so, including the makers of two of 2020’s most anticipated games: CD Projekt Red with Cyberpunk 2077, and Ubisoft with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

Electronic Arts, however, is handling next-gen upgrades a little differently: It turns out that there’s a catch.

EA debuted a few seconds of in-engine Madden NFL 21 gameplay footage during Inside Xbox. The segment concluded with Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes saying that the company would provide free Xbox Series X upgrades for the Xbox One version of the game. That’s true, but only for a limited time: In order to get the next-gen version of Madden NFL 21 for free, you “must purchase the game [on Xbox One] before Dec. 31 and redeem your upgrade on Xbox Series X by March 31, 2021,” EA says in an FAQ on the EA Sports website. (Sony has not announced a similar program for next-gen upgrades; the FAQ says that EA will announce further details regarding other platforms, and its other games, “as we approach EA Play Live on June 11.”)
