The final FIFA game under the EA banner will be coming out soon. Here is when the FIFA 23 release date is, gameplay features, and details.
FIFA 23 Release Date: September 30, 2022
FIFA 23 is coming to PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Google Stadia on September 30, 2022. FIFA 23 will be the last FIFA title under Electronic Arts before the franchise moves on with a new developer, ending a 30-year-long partnership between EA and FIFA. Meanwhile, Electronic Arts will move forward with the EA Sports FC title starting with their 2024 game, while FIFA purports that the next game will be “the only authentic, real game that has the FIFA name.”
FIFA 23 Gameplay
FIFA 23 returns with the Ultimate Team and Career game modes, and will feature both the World Cup and Women's World Cup post-launch. This will be the first time that will feature the women's domestic leagues for the very first time in franchise history. England's National League is now the only non-league in the English football league pyramid to be playable in the game. However, fans are mad that the game will not feature cross-play in Pro Leagues.
EA also says that the game will feature new gameplay, stating on their storefront:
“Enjoy a more true-to-life football experience with new gameplay features including risk-versus-reward shooting, new set piece mechanics, updated physics, and more football variety through signature run styles, new skill moves, and fresh ways to celebrate.”

FIFA 23 Features
FIFA 23 will feature crossplay for FIFA Ultimate Team Division Rivals, FUT Champions, FUT Ultimate Online Draft, FUT Online Friendlies, FUT Play a Friend, Online Friendlies, Online Seasons, and the Virtual Bundesliga, with the exception of co-op for FUT Division Rivals and Online Friendlies. However, crossplay is only available within the same console generation. Pro Clubs will not support crossplay, which has been criticized by the wider FIFA community.
For PS5, Xbox Series X, Stadia, and PC, FIFA 23 will introduce HyperMotion2 (an improvement of last year's HyperMotion) and Technical Dribbling, the latter uses what is called the Active Touch system to improve the footballer's path to the ball and improves a player's turning and dribbling with more responsiveness.
