Microsoft previously announced at Gamescom that FIFA 14 would be free for those in Europe who pre-order the Xbox One console, but now they’ve revealed that’s not quite true.
FIFA 14 will be free to those who pre-order the Day One Edition of the Xbox One only, meaning that those who pre-order the Standard Edition will miss out.
As is a recurring theme with Microsoft, this rectification on their previous statement wasn’t made formally, but rather via the Twitter account of the company’s Social Marketing Manager Graeme Boyd, who tweeted: “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.
If you have already pre-ordered a Day One Edition Xbox One, or pre-order one from now on while stocks last, you will receive FIFA 14 free.
“Another important note – the Day One Edition Xbox One FIFA 14 offer is valid in Europe, this holiday, while stocks last.”
The Day One Edition and Standard Edition of the Xbox One are the same price, so this isn’t another example of Microsoft attempting to pilfer the pockets of its consumers, but it’s still incredibly frustrating that Microsoft is continually making so many mistakes when it comes to simply notifying us of news regarding its upcoming product.
