The latest update of FIFA 21 is active. We have the 1.16 version patch notes here for you. Depending on what you expected, you can be either very excited or not at all because this patch is strictly about fixing game bugs and issues.
The FIFA 21 updates a couple of months ago were altering gameplay quite a bit, but those days are now behind us. Like the last couple of patch notes released, these new ones deal with fixing bugs within the game, rather than improve its gameplay mechanics.
What Does FIFA 21 Update 1.16 Change?
Most of the 1.16 update patch notes are strictly visual fixes. The little this update actually does to change the FIFA 21 experience is a fix for Asian continental qualification in Career mode, a fix for the Privacy Settings loading screen loading indefinitely on PS4 and Xbox One, the insertion of the new Input Overlay option in Game Settings, and the new Starheads.
