"FIFA 16" is nearing its release date, which is Tuesday, Sept. 22, for North American gamers. "FIFA 16" is a video game developed and published by Electronic Arts (EA) Sports. 

It was earlier reported in Major Nelson's blog that a preview version of the game in Xbox One was available to EA Access members. This gave players the chance to explore new game features; play with new game modes; and even get to transfer the game progress over to the actual game once finally purchased.

For those who missed out on the preview version, there's no need to worry since the official release is only a day away.

There is also no need to pre-order the game just so one can buy the full game on the said release date since "FIFA 16" will be available in all platforms. However, for those who really wanted to enjoy FIFA Ultimate Team packs, pre-ordering was the best option.

Meanwhile, GottaBeMobile reported on the release time for the game. As stated in the report, FIFA 16 will become available on Sept. 22 starting at 12:01 a.m. EST. For those who reside in other time zones, the release will be on Monday, Sept. 21 at 11:01 p.m. CST, 9:01 p.m. MST, or 9:01 p.m. PST. 

According to the same report, the new game offers new features and controls that those who are not experts on the game, especially on the "FIFA 15," should learn how to play with. The "FIFA 16" trainer mode should be able to help.

"FIFA" 16 will arrive in the United Kingdom on Thursday, Sept. 24. Gamers in Japan and Brazil may have to extend their wait a little longer since the game will be available in their region by Oct. 8, which is kind of ironic for Brazil.

The game will be playable in PlayStation 3 (PS3), PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 3, and personal computer (PC).
