Brand new for FIFA 17, the Companion App has been completely redesigned to be easier and faster to use. We've added end-to-end support for Squad Building Challenges, so you can exchange Players from your Club for exciting rewards on the go. For a limited time, select returning FUT 16 users will be able to create their FUT 17 Club on mobile. After September 30 you will need to have logged into FUT on your console or PC to keep using the app.

  • I hope they will continue supporting the Windows Phone. Everyone of us have some unique ideas for Windows Mobile, but I don't know why Microsoft don't want to implement it.
  • Is this a Windows Phone 8.1 app or Windows 10 UWP?
  • Following the Windows Store link, it says Windows Phone 8.1 and Win10. So, it is clearly not an UWP app.
  • In this case it's probably right BUT you can publish an 8.1 package and a Windows 10 UWP package under the same app identity and the user will receive the version relevant to them. You can go further and post specific packages for ARM/X86/X64 too. So the requirements could say Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 and you might get a completely different app. In this case it is an 8.1 package by the looks of it, but just wanted to make that point.
  • Holy crap... An EA game supporting a Windows Phone app?
  • EA might not make plenty of games for Windows Phone anymore, but they are good at supporting their existing apps/games. The Sim Freeplay for example, a 2014 WP8 game still getting frequent updates. And they will release FIFA Mobile game for W10M too, alongside Android and iOS this fall.
  • Yeah, I guess an update isn't really the same thing as a new app.
  • That's good news, and we're very grateful for the support.
  • For the little it costs ea to keep supporting this app they more than get it back from the in app purchases.
    They would be fools not too.
  • Why fifa 15 is removed from the store?
