Back at Gamescom, Microsoft announced the news that European consumers who pre-order the Xbox One console would receive a free copy of Fifa 14. This was later backed up by the official Xbox twitter account on Tuesday 27th August. “All pre-orders come with FIFA 14 in Europe, …. Doesn’t matter if it’s a Day One console or not.” Stated the company in the tweet.
However in a rather contradictory statement, Graeme Boyd, the social marketing manager for Xbox Europe stated via twitter that “FIFA 14 will only come free with Xbox One Day One Edition pre-orders, while stocks last,”.
With the contradictory news, it is now rather unclear whether this is a case of miscommunication within the company or this is Microsoft changing their minds on the consoles bundle. What is however clear is that with the Day One edition running out fast, to secure your copy of the console for certain you’d better pre-order fast.
