Whoever says new football season inevitably means a new video game from the industry’s flagship series, namely FIFA, from EA Sports. But small changes are to be expected in 2023, already in the name of the new plant. Then also in the price of the game? The (partial) answer here.

Like every summer, when real players return to training to prepare for the new season with their club, EA Sports broadcasts new information – and often a trailer – about the next FIFA game. With a little originality, 2023 is no exception to the rule, as this year’s coming up is: a name change. In fact, we should no longer say FIFA, but EAFC, the new name of the license, and this year specifically EAFC 24 – or EA Sports FC 24 in the long version – which will thus replace the much-criticized FIFA 23.
But when will he make it, this sequel?
Two planned release dates
The information was recently published by the EA Sports FC News account: as often happens, twice we will have the opportunity to acquire the new iteration. Obviously, the sooner, the more expensive. By purchasing the Ultimate Edition of EA Sports FC 24, which by its very nature is priced higher than the Standard Edition – as we shall see later – you will get early access to the game, most likely on September 22nd, 2023. That’s it same date as last year.
🚨BREAKING🚨
EA Sports FC 24 is reported to launch on September 29, 2023.
Both Standard and Ultimate editions will be available. Early access for the Ultimate Edition lasts 7 days (instead of 3 days for FIFA 23) and starts on September 22nd.#EASPORTSFC pic.twitter.com/Ve49ZxbW9W
