FIFA 22 FUT Versus Fire Freeze promotion

FUT Versus is the next promo in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, taking the place of Freeze in the typical update cycle. Here’s everything you need to know about the new packs, SBCs, and more.

The winter months are a busy time for FIFA fans, as EA cranks up the pace with which new promos drop in Ultimate Team. FIFA 22 looks set to be no different, Team of the Group Stage has been and gone, while the annual Team of the Year looms on the horizon.

We’re still also expecting Road to the Final in the coming weeks. But, next up in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team is the Versus promo — a new spin on the Freeze / FUTMAS that pits Fire and Ice.

This was one of last year’s best events, so here’s what fans can look forward to in this year’s FUT Versus promo.

FIFA 22 FUT Versus packs and SBCs

It’s not just the main team of Versus players for FUT fans to look forwards to, there will also be plenty of SBCs and packs to get stuck into. Throughout the course of the week, the store will be constantly updated with promo packs to open, from 25k to 125k packs.
