Microsoft Unveils FIFA 16 Xbox One Bundles With Early Access to Game

At its Gamescom briefing on Tuesday, Microsoft announced a new Xbox One bundle themed around EA Sports' upcoming football game, FIFA 16. The new bundle, which will be available in a range of markets starting September 15, will give Xbox One users a chance to try out FIFA 16. The game officially releases on Xbox One on September 22.

In the EUR 369 (roughly Rs. 25,600) bundle, the company is packing in a 500GB console with a month of EA Access subscription. There is also a EUR 399 (roughly Rs. 27,600) bundle which comes with a 1TB Xbox One console and a 12-month EA Access subscription. With the EA Access subscription, owners of the console bundle will also get early access to FIFA 16 on September 17, five days ahead of the official release.

Both the bundles come with 3 Loan Legends. For a refresh, FIFA Ultimate Team players are allowed to make loan signings. This lets them play a legend player for a specified number of games. Also in the bundle comes with an Xbox One wireless controller, and a downloadable copy of FIFA 2016.

The new title features classic players including Baia, Best, Deco, Gattuso, Giggs, Litmanen, Nesta, and Zanetti. The company notes that using EA Access membership, users will also get an access to The Vault. The Vault is a collection of several popular EA titles. Users will be able to play it for any number of times for no charge. In addition, you also get 10 percent savings on all EA digital purchases.

"You also get 10 percent savings on all EA digital purchases, including additions to FIFA 16, and the chance to play upcoming EA games on Xbox One for a limited time before their release along with the ability to keep your progress if you decide to purchase the game," it wrote on a blog post
