Football sim EA Sports FC has turned into a crystal ball again: even before the 2026 World Cup kicked off, the game ran the entire tournament through its in-game stats and named the future champion in advance.

And this is already the fifth correct call in a row, so it's less about luck at this point and more about some kind of supernatural intuition. -
Electronic Arts says it is building an ad server directly into the Frostbite engine so brands can be placed in specific in-game locations rather than added after launch.
