I’m kinda stuck between a few options and want some outside opinions.

I currently own F1 25, and every time I play it I keep thinking about getting F1 26. I really want the new game/content, but I also hate playing outdated F1 games.

The problem is that F1 27 should be coming in roughly 10 months, and I’m expecting it could be a pretty big upgrade from F1 26. The F1 26 DLC is around $42, so I’m worried that I’ll buy it now, enjoy it for 10 months, and then F1 27 comes out and I immediately feel like F1 26 is outdated.

At the same time, I know I’d probably regret not getting F1 26 because I already want it every time I play F1 25.

I also want a soccer game. I rented/played FC 26 before and really liked it, but I don’t own any FC game right now. I’m considering EA Play for around $7, which would give me access to FC 26 instead of buying it outright and also give me a 5$ discount on the DLC. I also already have one controller, but I want another controller so I can play FC with my Friends 

So my options are basically:

1. EA Play + F1 26 DLC + second controller

• Get FC 26 through EA Play
• Get F1 26 now at discounted price 
• Get another controller

1. FC 26  + second controller, skip F1 26

• Get FC 26
• Play F1 25 for now
• Wait for F1 27
• Avoid spending $42 on a game that might feel outdated soon

3. Buy FC 26 + F1 26 + second controller

• Own FC 26 instead of using EA Play
• Get F1 26
• Have two controllers
• Skip F1 27 and probably keep FC 26 for years

4. Just wait And buy FC 26 for 40$

• Keep playing F1 25
• Wait for F1 27 and decide everything later

 

The thing making this difficult is that F1 27 makes more sense logically, especially if it's a big upgrade, but I feel like I'd regret not experiencing F1 26 now.

What would you guys do?
