Nick Wlodyka, Senior Vice President and General Manager of EA SPORTS FC said:
The response from our fans has been nothing short of incredible, and we’re thrilled that our community is playing with their favourite players and teams across FIFA 23 in record numbers. With both the Men’s and Women’s World Cups, and exciting updates to our women’s club football content in game still yet to come, we’re just getting started on providing players with the most authentic and immersive experience yet.
For reference, last year’s FIFA 22 achieved a staggering 9.1 million player count by the end of its opening week. It’ll be interesting to see whether next year’s rebranded EA Sports FC title can manage similar numbers without the “FIFA” branding.
FIFA 23 launched September 30 and is available for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Google Stadia.
