EA Sports FC 27 has reportedly sold around 8 million copies globally since its release on September 25, according to estimates from Alinea, a market research firm. The game has generated $714 million in revenue from the sale of 7.9 million copies. PlayStation has been the main driver of this success, accounting for 77.1% of total sales. Xbox and Steam follow with 15.9% and 7% respectively. Alinea did not provide sales data for Nintendo consoles, but UK data suggests that the Nintendo Switch contributes about 13% of physical sales of FC 27.
In its first 19 days, FC 27 earned $573.9 million on PlayStation, a 22% increase compared to FC 26. Revenue on Xbox was $106 million, down 14% from the previous year, while Steam revenue was $34.2 million, down 17% from FC 26. Despite the similar number of copies sold compared to last year, Electronic Arts has managed to increase revenue per user. More than half of the 8 million copies (4 million) were sold during the early access period before the official release on September 25, generating $400 million in revenue. This success is attributed to the FOMO (fear of missing out) effect and the appeal of the Ultimate Plus edition, which was available for pre-order until August 31, 2026, at 160 euros.
Geographically, France has emerged as the top market for FC 27 on PlayStation, generating $82.5 million, or 14.3% of total revenue. This outperforms the United States (11.9%) and the United Kingdom (10.7%). The proportion of physical sales on PlayStation is only 8.2% (half a million boxes), lower than usual, likely due to the popularity of premium editions that encourage digital purchases over physical copies.
FC 27 has already recorded the highest combined revenue among 2026 releases, surpassing other notable titles such as Resident Evil Requiem ($558 million), Forza Horizon 6 ($534 million), Crimson Desert ($426 million), and 007 First Light ($320 million). This indicates that FC 27 has been a significant commercial success in the gaming industry this year.
