Discover why Amazon Prime’s Ultimate Team rewards may have vanished in EAFC 25 and what it means for the players.
The Ultimate Team landscape in EAFC 25 is missing some expected treasures. Yes, the Prime Gaming rewards, a staple for six years, have quietly taken their exit. This year, players geared up to dive into their beloved game modes only to find these monthly goodies are no longer on the menu.
As millions navigate the latest installment of EA’s football saga, many are left wondering about the empty spot where those Prime packs used to be. While EA Sports hasn’t made a peep, the shift is clear: Prime Gaming has changed course, resulting in Ultimate Team enthusiasts adjusting their strategies.
Why Have There Been No Prime Gaming Rewards Yet?
Prime Gaming packs have been a fan favorite in the FIFA and EA Sports FC series since their introduction with FIFA 19. For six years, these monthly rewards were a highlight for Ultimate Team players. They offered a fantastic way to build strong squads without spending money.
However, things have changed with EAFC 25. Over a month into the game’s release, there’s been no sign of Prime Gaming rewards. This absence is baffling since long-time players have grown accustomed to these monthly perks. So, what happened?
Earlier this year, there were hints about changes in Prime Gaming’s strategy. For instance, Riot Games announced in December 2022 that Prime Gaming would shift focus from in-game content to offering full games to subscribers. They confirmed that their promotion with Prime Gaming would end in March 2023.
While EA hasn’t made an official statement, this shift may have affected the EAFC series as well. Prime Gaming seems to be moving away from providing in-game rewards across multiple titles, and EAFC 25 might be one of them. This means that:
- No More Monthly Packs: The beloved Prime Gaming packs may no longer be a part of the Ultimate Team experience.
- Focus on Full Games: Prime Gaming might now offer full game titles to subscribers instead of in-game content.
This change has disappointed EAFC connoisseurs across the globe. The Prime Gaming packs were more than just free items—they added excitement and anticipation to each month. Players looked forward to seeing what new players or items they might receive to enhance their teams.
EA Play members still get draft tokens for Ultimate Team every month, but it is not the same.
How Prime Gaming Rewards Worked
Here’s a brief overview of Prime Gaming rewards.
- How They Started: Back in FIFA 19, EA Sports teamed up with Amazon Prime to offer exclusive monthly rewards to players who were also Amazon Prime subscribers.
- What They Included: The packs typically contained a mix of valuable items:
- Rare Gold Players: High-rated players that could strengthen any team.
- Player Picks: Choices between several players, allowing you to select the one that best fit your squad.
- Loan Items: Temporary star players you could use for a limited number of matches.
- Consumables: Items like contracts, position changes, and chemistry styles to enhance player performance.
- Redeeming the packs was straightforward:
- Link Accounts: Players linked their Amazon Prime account to their EA account.
- Claim Rewards: They visited the Prime Gaming website, navigated to the EA Sports FC section, and clicked “Claim” on the available pack.
- In-Game Access: Upon logging into Ultimate Team, the packs appeared in the “My Packs” section, ready to open.
