FIFA 22 is free to play right now, if you’re quick

FIFA 22 Steam is free to play? Yes, but you may need to hurry.

FIFA 22 Steam free - but only for 24 hours

The latest entry in the most popular football game series in the world is currently free to play on PC, but you’ll have to be quick. The Steam version of FIFA 22 is running a free trial of the entire game this weekend – but it’s only available for just over 24 hours at the time of writing, so go play.

It’s one of the best sports games on PC, and now FIFA 22 – the most recent game in the popular football franchise – is completely free-to-play on Steam. This is despite it being less than six months after the game’s release – FIFA 22 came out on October 1, 2021, so it’s interesting that EA is already giving it a free trial on Steam outside of its own EA Play program.

EA has actually been doing a lot of free weekend trials for its games in the last few weeks. One of the best recent Star Wars games on PC, space sim Star Wars Squadrons, was made free-to-play for a weekend on Steam last month. That came out in 2020, though, and isn’t nearly as popular as FIFA 22.

As of the time of writing, the FIFA 22 Steam trial is only available for just over 24 hours and should conclude tomorrow, February 21, around 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm GMT. However, the game itself will remain on sale for 67% off until February 23 – although the FIFA 22 Ultimate Launch Edition with 4600 FIFA Points is only 30% off.

If you’ve been holding off on getting FIFA 22 and didn’t fancy trying EA Play, today’s the perfect day to give it a try – once again, there’s no demo this time around, so this is the only way to try before you buy.
