Every four years, the World Cup presents a unique opportunity to unite the world of football, and we’re thrilled to provide an immersive, hands-on experience to football fans across the globe,” said Nick Wlodyka, SVP, GM, EA SPORTS FC.

Our first-ever football game was built around international football, and we’ve been building on that experience ever since.

It’s amazing to see how fans truly experience the highs, lows, and everything in between that can only be felt when the whole globe unites through the world’s game.

The free FIFA World Cup 2022 content will arrive on Wednesday, November 9 via an update.

It will come to PC, PlayStation and Xbox. But sadly, the FIFA World Cup will not be coming to FIFA 23 on the Nintendo Switch.

FIFA 23 will also be the last FIFA game by name, ending a nearly 30-year partnership.

From 2023 this iconic football video game brand will be known as EA Sports FC. That’s going to take some getting used to.
