Fans of EA Sports FC 27 are joking that the game is trying to compete with GTA 6 after encountering instances of women randomly appearing in bikinis.

Although it doesn’t publicly launch until this Friday, those who have pre-ordered EA Sports FC 27 have already begun playing, thanks to its early access launch.

The game is unsurprisingly not bug free, which is typically the case with yearly sports games, but it will hopefully have most of them ironed out with a patch to coincide with the full launch.

One bug, however, has already caught fan’s imaginations, because it involves players being stripped down to nothing but a bikini.

The earliest example we can find of this is from September 18 – the day early access began – where MereDaaruChadhGi on Reddit shared a clip of their team in the dressing room.

It’s hard to make out, since all the characters are stood at the back of the room, so we recommend playing the clip in full screen, but there is most definitely a woman among the players wearing a black bra and knickers.

Adding to the weirdness is that it’s not a team of female players; they’re all men except for this one random lady, so where did she come from?
