Spotify and EA SPORTS FC 25: Level Up Your Game with In-Game Music Streaming
Get ready to amplify your gaming experience! Spotify is partnering with EA SPORTS to pilot a brand-new in-game audio experience for EA SPORTS FC 25. This collaboration lets you seamlessly integrate your favorite music, podcasts, and audiobooks directly into your gameplay. But there's a catch – for now, it's only available to Spotify Premium users in Australia and Saudi Arabia.
Imagine building your Ultimate Team lineup while listening to your favorite artists or blasting your personal victory anthem as you score the winning goal. Now you can. The integration allows players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S to directly access Spotify's extensive library without ever leaving the game.
According to Spotify, this is more than just convenient entertainment. This partnership allows Spotify to creates new opportunities for artists to share their music and be discovered by a massive audience of passionate gamers.
How to Access Spotify in EA SPORTS FC 25:
Players in Australia and Saudi Arabia with a Spotify Premium subscription will see a new Spotify tab in the game's main menu. Logging in grants access to the Spotify player from anywhere in the game, including the setup menus before a new match and the pause menu during gameplay. You can even switch your audio from the default commentary to your curated Spotify playlist. A discreet on-screen display shows the current track, which can be easily skipped or changed.
"This initial test is part of Spotify’s commitment to connecting artists and fans," stated Spotify. It appears Spotify's global editorial experts are hard at work building music recommendations from around the world music culture to give gamers an engaging audio experience.
While the in-game integration provides seamless access, Spotify cautions that certain music may not be available within the game. Users can always access their full library directly through the Spotify app. The EA SPORTS FC 25 soundtrack will remain as the default setting in-game for now.
Will this in-game streaming integration spread to other games and regions? What artists will benefit the most from this increased gamer exposure? Share your thoughts and predictions in the comments below!
