Right, let’s see what the FIFA 20 EA Access download error problem is. If you’re a subscriber to this on Xbox One or PS4, you should have been allowed to download the game from September 19.

The issue is that some players can’t download it though. A thread on the EA Answers forum, at the time of writing, has five pages of complaints from furious fans who kept getting the same error message. The message simply reads “Download error. Repair and retry.” The message redirects players to their platform’s digital store but then doesn’t load anything too.
How to fix FIFA 20 EA Access Download Error
According to EA Community Manager EA_Andy, there are a couple of quick fixes that should resolve this for you. First, he suggests that canceling the download and restarting it might work. If that doesn’t, head to the Xbox or PlayStation store through the web and downloading them this way instead.
These suggestions have proven to be very hit and miss among the community though. Replies have claimed that neither works for them, and they’ve so far been met by silence. If you’ve been affected, you can lodge a complaint ticket at EA Support and, hopefully, they’ll help you get it sorted.
