Electronic Arts has released Update 1.1.1 for EA Sports FC 26, targeting a key stability issue that emerged following the deployment of version 1.1.0. This patch primarily focuses on improving performance and connection reliability within Football Ultimate Team (FUT), where an unintended side effect from the previous update caused sporadic instability during online sessions. The patch is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with other platforms receiving it in the coming days.
