We hadn't seen a fresh FIFA 21 Title Update for a number of weeks, but EA has brought us a biggie for Title Update #15.

With the Team of the Season promo in full flow, we may not see many more patches to FIFA 21 - so each one will now be highly significant.

FIFA 21 Title Update 15 Patch Notes

The patch notes were revealed on the FIFA forums:

Kiyan Price

In an amazing touch from EA, former QPR wonderkid Kiyan Prince has arrived in FIFA 21.

The striker, who was killed when breaking up a fight at school, will be available to play with on kick-off and Career Mode - with the 30-year-old receiving a 75 rating.

Not only that, but Prince has also "signed" for QPR, receiving the squad number 30 and will feature in the matchday programme from next season onwards.

Title Update 15 Release Date

Title Update 15 is expected to go live on PC and Stadia on Tuesday, 18 May.

The update will become available on consoles at a later date - around Monday, 24 May.

Next Up

Of course, the Team of the Season promo is in full swing, with the Serie A and Ligue 1 squads still yet to be released.

But what will follow that?

Well, the code from Title Update 15 could give us an insight into what's on the way - with perhaps a summer promo arriving.

We've seen Summer Heat in the past, and with no 99-rated players released in TOTS so far, there is a chance we could see some crazy cards this summer, especially with the European Championships on the way.
