Third-party studios like Ubisoft, Sega, and Bandai Namco Entertainment are backing Microsofts Smart Delivery upgrades, but theres one big exception: EA. While EA unveiled Madden NFL 21 for the Xbox Series X today, the company is not pledging its commitment to supporting Smart Delivery. Instead, EA is offering its own free upgrade offer, but only if players purchase Madden NFL 21 on Xbox One by December 31st and upgrade to Xbox Series X by March 31st, 2021.

Lol EA

What is the point of not taking part and then having that weird leniency? You get all of the bad publicity and like a tenth of the money.

Because they want to normalize the idea of only getting the backwards compatibility if you preorder. There's really no loss to them to implement the idea in a game that their fans are going to buy no matter what, and now they've set the precedent so in the future when you can only get smart delivery by pre-ordering the super deluxe version people won't complain quite as much.

This doesn't affect any reasonable person because they don't buy EA games to begin with.

They probably want to sell the next gen version at a premium for longer too.
