With FIFA 23 the last edition of the usual FIFA series from EA Sports will be released this year. Release date, versions, price: Here you can find information about the soccer simulation. The 2021/22 – Season is over, the 2022/23 – Season starts soon or has already started in some parts. For friends of the game consoles this means accordingly of course: a new FIFA edition of EA Sports is coming. FIFA 23 will be the last edition of the FIFA series. As both the developers and those responsible for the world association FIFA announced in May, the simulation will bear the name FIFA for the last time this year, and from 2024 EA Sports FC will appear on the cover. The reason for this revolution: disagreements between the two parties about further cooperation.

EA pays FIFA as a license partner so far 150 million euros a year. “We want to make sure that we involve many, many more brands and partners,” said brand manager of EA Sports, David Jackson, while FIFA no longer wants to give the licensing rights to just one publisher. But to stay with FIFA 23 and the familiar name: When is the release date of the new FIFA edition? What versions will there be, who is on the cover and what is the price? SPOX addresses these questions in the following.
