Start playing FIFA 23 on November 9 and watch the FIFA World Cup 2022

Once more, it’s that time. The biggest football tournament in the world is being celebrated around the globe, and what better way to commemorate the event than to be there in person? With all the drama, excitement, and realism of the real thing, the FIFA World Cup 2022 will be played in FIFA 23 at no additional cost. Additionally, a complete Season of content will be coming to FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.

Authentic FIFA World Cup presentation, cinematics, and all 32 qualified nations in online, custom, and live tournament modes will give you the deepest connection to the competition.

On November 9, 2022, FIFA 23 will have a World Cup mode. You can compete in offline or online tournaments with any of the approved teams and take part in live modes that are based on the games that are happening at any given time. If your preferred nation’s team didn’t make it, you can substitute up to 15 additional countries and have them win the World Cup in a bespoke competition.

Videos showing fans getting ready for the game in their nation’s colors and participating in pre-game activities have been added to enhance the matchday experience. Obviously strictly no booze or public demonstrations of affection. However, only two of Qatar’s eight stadiums will really be included in FIFA 23.

There won’t be any special FIFA Ultimate Team this time around. Instead, “30 World Cup Heroes” will be available to unlock as part of the Path to Glory event, which will commence at the beginning of the World Cup. Before the tournament is through, players can also earn additional team uniforms, match balls, stadium designs, and commentary packs. The top players will receive enhancements to their cards that are permanent after the World Cup.

World Cup modes for FIFA 23

With a World Cup-themed user interface, FIFA 23’s brand-new section has been unveiled and provides a variety of game types. The fundamental 1v1 kick-off match is accessible and can be played locally against either human or AI opponents. In addition, you can up the ante by picking a team and participating in a unique FIFA World Cup match during a knockout phase. This also holds true for the tournament mode, where you can select one of 32 qualifying teams and try to lead them to victory either offline or online throughout a period resembling a season.

You can alter your experience by making changes to the groups and adding teams that weren’t selected for the initial FIFA World Cup 2022 Finals. You can even construct a Custom Tournament.

Take part in Tournament Mode online to compete against players from all around the world for the FIFA World Cup title as you go through the Knockout Stages as any of the 32 eligible nations.

Kick Off

Play a Kick Off game together on the couch with nearby friends or the computer. Choose a Group Stage match or boost the ante with a Knockout Round match, pick from available unqualified teams or qualified teams, and engage in a one-off local FIFA World Cup encounter.

Ultimate Team for FIFA

In contrast to other games where the World Cup was a distinct option in FUT, FIFA 23 will incorporate the tournament within the gameplay. You can swap improved players from your chosen country into the club as part of a limited-time promotion. If Thibaut Courtois’ stats are better than those on his regular Real Madrid card, he can be added to your FUT season team.

Along with uniforms, accessories, and other cosmetics, Heroes, and Icons who were the former legends of their nations’ World Cups will also be available. In August, FIFA 23 introduced brand-new Ultimate Team Heroes cards with 21 well-known football players who had been converted into Marvel superheroes. Ex-Juventus player Claudio Marchisio plays Il Principio, Portuguese defender Ricardo Carvalho plays The Anticipator, and Korean midfielder Park Ji-Sung plays Tigerheart among the cast of retired luminaries.
