Then you can play it earlier than the 27th on the PC, they say from September 20/21, play the 10 days earlier. Only possible on PC with playpro. The 27th is wrong!
EA app: 19, 2022 at 7 PM preload!
Basically useless for everyone who ordered ultimate edition
That means if I can have the ultimate edition on xbox. Can I play unlimited from 27.9 ? Or only 10 hours?
You think it'll be playable around the release time of TOTW or like the 27th 00:01 ?
