So, to clear some things up, because we see that many people are asking this question. No, the upgrade is not available for PS4, or Xbox One consoles, this is a next-gen upgrade only, for next-gen consoles: PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
- Xbox Series X size: 35GB
- PS5 size: 39GB
What about your progress in FIFA 21, will it be available in the Next-gen version? Well, glad you asked:
All progress you make or content you acquire within FIFA 21 Ultimate Team (including players, items, coins, FIFA Points, match record, and leaderboard placement), as well as all progression in VOLTA FOOTBALL will transfer from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5 and back, or Xbox One to Xbox Series X|S and back. Progress within all other modes including Online Seasons, Co-Op Seasons, Career Mode, Pro Clubs, etc. will be specific to the console you are playing on and won't transfer between consoles.
