FIFA 22 on PC will not only be the version of PS4 and Xbox One: it cannot be installed on more than 1 computer at the same time

Origin DRM imposes a single machine activation limit on PC gamers.

FIFA 22 starts the season on PC with a worse footing than the German team in the European Championship. Its announcement last week showed the improvements that it will have on PS5, Xbox Series and Stadia … but that will not be present on computers , where PC players will have to be content with a port of the PS4 and Xbox One versions . And the problems of the game do not end there. The discontent of the community is joined by another reason, related to the copy protection measures (DRM) of the game on PC.

As the FIFA 22 Steam page clearly indicates , the EA Sports game will make use of Origin DRM even off-platform, requiring the installation of EA’s PC services. But that’s not the part that has drawn criticism from users. And is that EA will only allow you to install the game on a single computer at a time. ” 1 team (s) as activation limit “, verbatim the game page.

Hypermotion technology will be absent on PC.

In other words, those who buy FIFA 22 on PC will only be able to install the game on one computer at a time . If they want to install it somewhere else, be it on their laptop to go on a trip, at a friend’s house, or for any other reason, they must uninstall it before the first computer they download it to. Is it a Steam typo? Or is EA really going to limit the buyers of your game in this way?

The truth is that it does not seem that the FIFA community on PC is happy with what its next installment will offer, limited to the versions of two consoles with 8 years old, and with these limitations due to its DRM. Although there are also criticisms outside the computers: the next-gen improvement of FIFA 22 on PS4 and Xbox One will only be included with the Ultimate edition of 99 euros . We’ll see if EA sticks with these policies, or rectifies before their release on October 1. A game that we will see in action shortly, with EA Play Live 2021 this month .
