New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on August 10, 2023) follows:

Multiple reports indicate that EA Sports FC 24 beta code is not working properly. Additionally, it frequently has problems with receiving codes for the wrong platform and game altogether.

It’s very well-known that beta testing is an essential phase in the development of any game. It allows developers to gather valuable feedback from players, identify and fix bugs.

However, when beta codes themselves become a source of frustration, it can severely hinder the process. Sadly, this is currently the case with the upcoming EA Sports FC 24.

EA Sports FC 24 beta code not working

Reports of EA Sports FC 24 beta codes not working have flooded forums and social media platforms. Players who were excited to jump into the early edition of the game have expressed their displeasure.

These problems have surely sparked frustration among players (1,2,3,4,5). It also highlights the challenges faced by developers in delivering seamless gaming experiences.

Not only has the issue discouraged players, but it also makes it difficult for EA’s support teams to address these problems swiftly.

Issues like ‘downloading a golf game’ or ‘received code for wrong platform’

To make matters worse, players are reporting getting codes for a different game altogether. For instance, one of the players got a code for ‘PGA TOUR ROAD TO THE MASTERS (LOREMLPSUM 42 XSX)’.

The glitch has baffled players who were expecting to play EA Sports FC 24 and instead found themselves engaging in virtual rounds of golf (1,2,3,4,5).

Additionally, console players also find themselves with codes designated for a different platform altogether (1,2,3,4,5).

This mismatch has seemingly resulted in frustration and confusion, as players are left wondering how such a fundamental error could have occurred.

Developers allegedly aware

It’s been alleged by one of the affected players that EA is aware of the code-related issues. You can check it out below:

However, there has been no official response from the developers themselves. There is also no workaround that can help fix these glitches temporarily.

But we’ll surely keep tabs on the latest developments and update this space accordingly.

11:51 am (IST): The support team has acknowledged the issue with the EA Sports FC Closed Beta and a fix is currently underway.

We’re working on a fix for issues with the EA SPORTS FC™ Closed Beta. Head to the Closed Beta forums on AHQ for more info.
