EA has been heavily pushing the download version of the game, with the Ultimate Edition -- which allows players to access the game early -- only available via digital stores.
Last year, 62% of FIFA 21's sales were downloads. FIFA 21 was the first time more copies of a FIFA game was downloaded over being bought in a box (at launch). That number did shrink over time, however. By the end of its first year, FIFA 21's sales were 52% digital.
