Is EA FC 25 server down on PS5?

EA FC 25 was released officially on September 27, 2024, for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. The addition of new features like FC IQ, along with the series' popular modes such as Ultimate Team, has gamers excited about this installment. However, as of this writing, PlayStation users are experiencing issues with game servers.

The cause behind such problems can either be from the user's end or global servers. In this case, it looks like the latter is the reason behind EA FC 25 servers being down on PS5 (and PS4) today, as the PlayStation Network (or simply PSN) servers are down at the moment.

In short, PS5 and PS4 users can face problems accessing EA FC 25 servers as long as the ongoing PSN server issues persist. Since there is no way to fix this server issue from your end, the best course of action is to wait for PlayStation to resolve it. In the meantime, you can try playing offline modes like Kick Off or Career Mode, as these might still be accessible.

As for other platforms, that is PC, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, the game should work as as expected. According to EA's official Server Status website, FC 25 servers are up and running without any reported issues on these platforms.
