Spotify Partners with EA Sports for Innovative In-Game Audio Experience
Swedish music streaming leader Spotify has announced an exciting collaboration with EA Sports to offer a new audio experience for gamers engaging with EA SPORTS FC 25 in Australia and Saudi Arabia. This pilot initiative allows PlayStation 5 and Xbox X/S players in these regions to immerse themselves in a vast library of music, podcasts, and audiobooks while enjoying the game.
Features Available for Premium Users
Currently, this innovative feature is exclusively available to Spotify Premium subscribers. As players navigate their virtual football matches, they can seamlessly integrate their favorite sounds, enhancing the gaming atmosphere while kicking goals on the digital pitch. This initiative builds upon last year’s successful partnership between Spotify and EA Sports, which saw the creation of an official soundtrack for this popular game.
“Whether you want to enjoy artists you love while building your Ultimate Team lineup or blast your personal victory anthem as you take the win, you can now create the ultimate soundtrack for any moment in FC, ”Spotify stated in a recent announcement.
How to Integrate Spotify into EA SPORTS FC 25
To access this integration, players can conveniently open Spotify from the game’s main menu. By clicking on ‘Log in’ and scanning the QR code with their smartphones, users can link their Spotify Premium accounts. Once paired, players can explore their saved tracks or stream specific playlists directly from the game’s soundtrack menu.
Compatibility with PC Players
While Spotify’s announcement primarily emphasized game consoles, an EA support page mentions that PC gamers can also experience this integration by downloading the Spotify app from its official website, although the version from the Microsoft Store is unsupported.
Spotify’s In-Game Features and Controls
After successfully pairing their accounts, players can access Spotify through various game menus, including the set-up menu for new matches and the pause menu during gameplay. The Spotify in-game widget provides users with three main tabs: Home, Your Library, and Soundtrack. The Soundtrack tab highlights playlists and albums recommended by Spotify and EA Sports.
Among the various features, players have the flexibility to switch their default audio settings from commentary to Spotify, along with the option to view a Spotify overlay while playing. They can also choose to skip or select tracks at any time through the pause menu.
Availability Limitations
It is important to note that “certain music is not currently available in this experience—users can go to the Spotify app to access our full library.”As of now, there has been no official announcement regarding the global rollout of this Spotify-EA Sports audio integration for gamers outside the test regions.
As gaming continues to evolve with innovative audio experiences, this initiative showcases the potential for enhanced user engagement and enjoyment in the gaming community. Keep an eye out for updates on potential future expansions of this unique collaboration.
