FIFA 23: release date, price, pre-orders, and more
THIS week has seen EA Sports finally confirm many details on FIFA 23, this year’s premier football game.
We’ve already seen the cover star reveals for the Standard and Ultimate Editions of the game, which include Chelsea's Sam Kerr and the return of Kylian Mbappé.
FIFA 23 introduces a host of new series innovations and features, including the option to play through both Women’s and Men’s World Cups.

EA Sports confirmed yesterday, alongside the debut of the FIFA 23 reveal trailer, that FIFA 23 will launch on September 30 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox consoles, Google Stadia, and Nintendo Switch.

Footy fans who get in early and purchase the digital-exclusive Ultimate Edition will be treated to three days of early access, so they can start their FIFA 23 career on September 27.
As mentioned in our FIFA 23 early access guide, EA Play Pro members on PC will also be able to enjoy early access from September 27 too, even if they’ve only purchased the Standard Edition of the game.
If you want the ability to play FIFA 23 across both generations of your chosen console, you’ll need to purchase the Ultimate Edition.
FIFA 23 demo
Unfortunately, this year marks the third in a row that there will be no demo version of FIFA 23.
However, EA Play members will be able to enjoy a 10-hour trial, which is the next best thing.
FIFA 23 editions explained
In addition to early access for some versions of the game, there are other bonuses for pre-ordering FIFA 23. For a full rundown, take a look at our lists below.
FIFA 23 gameplay, crossplay
The biggest innovation that FIFA 23 is marketing right now are the Men’s and Women’s World Cups.
Female teams from across Britain and France are represented, giving players more options on who to play with than ever before.
Another huge addition is the introduction of crossplay, which allows players on different platforms to play with one another, though there are some key limitations.
Only 1v1 modes will have access to crossplay, and players with older consoles will be relegated to playing by themselves.
PS4 and Xbox One consoles can play with one another, but won’t be able to connect to the modern version available across PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and Google Stadia.
The Nintendo Switch’s FIFA 23 Legacy Edition, meanwhile, is based on a much older version of FIFA, and presents no gameplay or visual enhancements, just an updated roster.
