EA have held a FIFA 20 press event where they had to endure plenty of questions regarding microtransactions in the upcoming instalment of the popular football simulation. Nevertheless, EA were pretty clear that they won't budge further.

Real Madrid's biggest signing this summer - Eden Hazard - is the cover art athlete for the Standard Edition of FIFA 20. Liverpool's defender Virgil Van Dijk is featured on the more expensive version of the game - Champions Edition.

Many a gamer's gaze has recently been turned towards the UK, who finally decided to look into loot boxes via roasts of game devs and publishers, but the UK Gambling Commission now stated that FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) packs are not gambling

EA have rolled out a gameplay trailer for the upcoming instalment of their popular football simulator, FIFA 20, showing off all the new and updated features, like increased control over Decisive Moments, a set-piece refresh and more.

EA have signed a partnership deal with this year's Champions League winner Liverpool FC for the next instalment in their football simulation series, FIFA 20. According to the deal, the two will work together on club-specific content.

EA have come under fire in the UK following BBC's report on minors spending insane amounts of money and even emptying their parents' accounts on FIFA 19 and NBA Live 19 loot boxes. Did we say loot boxes? We meant surprise mechanics.

SuperData analyst firm published their report on the worldwide digital games market in May 2019, and they found that Fortnite's recent slump is recovering on the back of Season 9, while PUBG keeps raking in dough away from the spotlight.

EA recently claimed that they don't sell loot boxes in their games, instead, they choose to call them surprise mechanics, similar to those found in Kinder Surprise. Sonic Twitter found this claim hilarious and decided to mock the publisher.

Thanks to Sony's Days of Play mega sale on PlayStation Store, FIFA 19 and Days Gone have remained on first and second place on UK retail sales charts respectively. The highest placing non-PS title is Microsoft's racer Forza Horizon 4.

Sony's Days of Play promotion has worked wonders for the company's catalogue last week, with almost half the chart reserved for PlayStation 4 titles. However, the promotion also helped EA and FIFA 19, with the latter taking first place.
