FIFA 23

FIFA 23 is EA Sports' football simulation from 2022. The game combines matches with licensed clubs and national teams with career modes, tournaments and local multiplayer. It is the last main entry in the EA series under the FIFA name, before EA Sports FC took over.

FIFA 23 came out on September 30, 2022 as the Standard Edition. Buyers of the Ultimate Edition could already play on September 27. The online services were shut down on October 30, 2025. Local matches and offline content remain separate from this.

FIFA 23 was released natively for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch. There was also a Stadia version, which could no longer be used after Google's cloud gaming service ended in January 2023. HyperMotion2 works on PS5, Xbox Series and PC. This technology is missing on PS4 and Xbox One. The Nintendo Switch version is a standalone Legacy Edition.

FIFA 23 focuses on passing, runs, tackles and finishing variations on the pitch. HyperMotion2 enhances animations on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series using motion data captured from recorded matches. The previous console generation and the Switch version use different technical foundations. The choice of platform therefore affects not only graphics but also movement.

FIFA 23 requires Windows 10 64-bit on PC, DirectX 12 and 100 GB of free storage. The minimum specs listed by EA are an Intel Core i5-6600K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600, 8 GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or Radeon RX 570. Recommended are an Intel Core i7-6700 or Ryzen 7 2700X, 12 GB RAM and a GTX 1660 or RX 5600 XT.

In Manager Career you lead a club through matchdays, transfers and squad development. Player Career focuses on the career of a single character. With playable highlights, you can play through decisive game situations without playing every minute of a match yourself. The career mode remains an essential part of the game even after the online services ended.

FIFA 23 added women's club teams to the main series for the first time, with the English Women's Super League and the French Division 1 Arkema. Alongside well-known men's leagues, additional clubs are now available for matches. The women's national teams and the 2023 World Cup expanded the range of playable competitions.

The 2022 Men's World Cup in Qatar and the 2023 Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand are among the major tournament content in FIFA 23. Both competitions were added after the original release at no extra cost. The tournaments form their own framework separate from the regular club career.

The online services for FIFA 23 ended on October 30, 2025. Ultimate Team, online seasons and online friendlies can no longer be used. Kick-off matches, local matches and the offline career modes remain part of the game. For owners of the PC version, account and launch requirements of the respective distribution platform may still apply.

FIFA 23 supports shared matches on one console. The original feature set also included cross-platform online competition: PC, PS5 and Xbox Series formed one group, while PS4 and Xbox One formed a second. Since the shutdown on October 30, 2025, these online features are no longer available. Local multiplayer is separate from this.

FIFA 23 Legacy Edition came out on September 30, 2022 for Nintendo Switch. It updates clubs, squads, kits and presentation, among other things. Nintendo explicitly describes the gameplay and game modes as largely identical to FIFA 22 Legacy Edition. HyperMotion2 and the new features of other platform versions are not part of this edition.

The Standard Edition came out on September 30, 2022. The Ultimate Edition allowed an early start three days earlier and included additional digital bonuses. Historical Ultimate Team bonuses no longer have any comparable practical use since the online services ended. For regular local play, the main game is enough.
