If you purchase M21 for Xbox One in August, and then you buy an Xbox Series X in December (or whenever it launches), you get the free upgrade to the better version. The free upgrade will be a download of graphics & texture packs. Essentially the exact same set up as now, when you went from a 1S to a 1X. Microsoft wants gamers to use their current games across all models of the Xbox, and each unit will scale things accordingly.

PS5, however, is not a console update in the way the the series X is, as far as I know. The PS5 is a brand new generation, while the Xbox is like upgrading from an iphone 7 to the iphone 11, so to speak.

Well, I guess I will be waiting to purchase on the PS5. Not spending money twice for a game with a sub par franchise mode. All new generation adapters should be able to upgrade for free but, whatever.

MS and Sony are doing the same basic thing, MS just has more support for cross-generation titles and libraries.

More on the topic of the OP, by the end of the NFL season a fan is more likely better served just getting EA Access and playing it from the vault anyways.

I think the lack of clarity on the PS5 side is just causing confusion is all. That should be cleared up a little more later this week when Sony finally starts the marketing for their next console.
