EA confirms several in-demand features will make their way into FIFA 23. The game will now officially feature women’s club teams for the first time ever, FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023, and cross-play.

FIFA 23 is now set to be the first game ever to allow fans to play both the men’s and women’s FIFA world cups in the same game. Both world cups are also set to join the game as post-launch updates and at no additional cost.

For the first time ever, fans will also now be able to play women’s club teams in FIFA 23. The game will feature Barclays Women’s Super League and Division 1 Arkema joining the biggest stars and teams, including 19,000+ players across 700+ teams in over 100 stadiums and over 30 leagues. 

Finally, EA finally confirms that FIFA 23 cross-play will be available for  the soccer sim  on day one. The feature, however, will only be available on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Stadia, and PC. 

Cross-play will be available at launch in FUT Division Rivals (except Co-Op), FUT Champions, FUT Ultimate Online Draft, FUT Online Friendlies (except Co-Op), FUT Play a Friend, Online Friendlies, Online Seasons (except Co-Op Seasons) and the Virtual Bundesliga competitive game mode that is available to players based in Germany. Cross-play is initially enabled for all players when launching FIFA 23 for the first time, provided the platform level settings allow for it, and it can be opted out of at any time

EA SPORTS FIFA 23 is now available for pre-order via the game’s official website. The game is coming out later this year on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Stadia, and PC.
