Since the first instalment of the FIFA soccer franchise, the latest editions of the legendary game have been released in September and October. Like clockwork, soccer fans have got their fill of the game every autumn and this year’s release will be no different.

Not a lot has been changed from last year’s edition of the game to this year’s instalment. However, this will be the final year of EA Sports and FIFA’s working partnership. FIFA, the governing body of soccer, believes it is possible to make money elsewhere by officially partnering with another company. The grass isn’t always greener, and luckily for fans of the game, EA Sports will continue making it with a slightly tweaked name.

Sports fans are preparing for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar this November. Fans are debating which team will win the tournament and whether or not Canada can reach the round of 16. Fans can read the latest sports betting apps in Canada reviews before downloading an app to bet on this year’s FIFA World Cup.

For now, FIFA 23 is on the way and there is plenty of information to learn about before the game is released. Here’s what you should know about FIFA 23.

When will FIFA 23 be released?

FIFA 23 will hit shelves on September 30, 2022. The release date is a little bit earlier than in past incarnations of the game.

What platforms is FIFA 23 available on? All the major gaming platforms will be available for FIFA 23. You will be able to play the soccer game on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, PS4, and Xbox One. There are some slight differences in the game versions for the platforms including HyperMotion2 Technology and graphical fidelity of player models.

Nintendo Switch will have a legacy version of the game. Unlike in past years, the Nintendo Switch legacy version will be more like the Legacy Edition from the other platforms.

Women’s soccer leagues included

This year’s game will see the inclusion of England’s FA Women’s Super League for the first time. This is a brilliant addition as the women’s game continues to grow. The Women’s Super League’s addition is also timed perfectly as the England women’s national team won the European Championship in July for the first time.

In addition to the Women’s Super League, the French Division 1 Féminine will be playable as well from the game’s launch. As updates are made available, further women’s leagues may become available. The love for women’s football will see Chelsea’s Sam Kerr on the cover with Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe. It is the first time a female player has been on the cover of the game.

Game changes for FIFA 23

There are two big tech changes to this year’s release. The first is HyperMotion2 which is an AI-driven system that adds unique animations to the gameplay. It aims to adds more variation to the gameplay. Players will react in unique ways to situations that occur in matches.

The second tech change is Technical Dribbling. This will add more control and realism to player movement. Technical Dribbling is machine-learning assisted. Players will have more natural movements while in possession of the ball.

Power Shot is another alteration to the game. It will take a little more time to set up Power Shot, but the result is a stronger, more targeted shot than before.
