Gamescom 2013: Confirmed: Xbox One to come with free FIFA 14 in Europe
The deal, announced during the firm's Gamescom press briefing today, includes all console pre-orders from today and to date.
The FIFA 14 pack is described as "the first of these bundles", suggesting that a different game could be included in the promotion later on.
Microsoft has also announced FIFA 14 Ultimate Team Legends, which will be exclusive to Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
Users will be able to craft their Ultimate Team with a mix of legendary players on the pitch alongside today's stars. Legends will offer access to classic players like Ruud Gullit, Dennis Bergkamp, Pelé, Patrick Vieira, Gary Lineker and Freddie Ljungberg.
The news follows an earlier CVG report in which sources indicated that Microsoft had secured a "major third-party title" to bundle with its next-gen console.
A source with knowledge of the deal, who wished to remain anonymous, told CVG that the developments were part of Microsoft's goal of adding value to its system without lowering its £429 release day price.
Striking a deal of this magnitude is thought to have cost Microsoft further millions in budget as it prepares to launch its next-generation Xbox around the world.
Sony has won favour among the games community for setting the PlayStation 4 price at $499 and £349 - which is $100 and £80 lower than the Xbox One launch RRP.
The software giant has previously claimed it will spend as much as $1 billion on games deals and R&D during the next generation. Already it has major partnerships lined up, such as the Microsoft-exclusive game Titanfall (PC, 360 and Xbox One) as well as timed-exclusive Battlefield 4 DLC.

Aggie Wow why not in the US? What special are they doing in the States?
Well considering Europe has to pay 429 Euros for it which is about 75 dollars more than America I don't see why we deserve a special. We are already getting it cheaper than them.

I think this makes the Xbox a lot more worthwhile. Even if they didn't add another game, I'm happy with this. At least I can play FIFA for a while before buying another game.
You could always try selling the game or code once you get it and buy the game you want. I'm sure someone who doesn't pre-order will buy it.
daRealRush Hopefully, they will do this with other games, because I am not that big of a fan of FIFA.
