The famous leaker of information about EA games reports via Xfire FIFA 23 will be the first FIFA game to support cross-play. As a result, players on the PlayStation consoles, the Xbox consoles and PC will be able to play together and against each other in the different online modes. In FIFA 22 Surprisingly enough, that option is still not available, despite the fact that we see more and more games offering cross-play.
According to Henderson, that is also not the only new function that we can expect in FIFA 23. For example, EA will reportedly also add the World Cup women’s football to the game. In addition, the developer has obtained more licenses for ‘major football divisions’, in order to represent the sport for men and women as well as possible.
Earlier there were rumors that FIFA 23 might become free-to-play, just like major competitor PES, which is now as eFootball goes through life. According to Henderson, the new FIFA will only be available on the shelves for the normal price.
Will FIFA 23 be the last FIFA game?
While the FIFA games are still selling like hot cakes, it’s quite possible that we won’t see the games in the near future. At least not with the FIFA name on the box. There has been dispute for some time about the high costs that EA has to pay to the football organization to be allowed to use the name and according to Andrew Wilson, the CEO of EA, the name FIFA is rather ‘an impediment’ to the franchise.
It is also questionable whether FIFA 23 will be released in Russia. Due to the invasion of Ukraine, many publishers have decided not to release their products in Russia, including Warner Bros. and Disney.
