FIFA 23 Title Update 7 patch notes: Fixes to EA Anti Cheat, corner kick changes, and more

EA Sports recently revealed the patch notes for the latest Title Update in FIFA 23, and as a PC exclusive release, Title Update 7 focuses heavily on fixing EA's Anti Cheat issues. With Team of the Year in full swing in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, the upcoming update is likely to cause quite a stir in the FUT community, as these updates are usually accompanied by server maintenance breaks.

Since the beginning of the game cycle, fans have struggled to play the game to its maximum potential on PC. With cross-play being introduced to FIFA 23 for the first time in the history of the franchise, EA Sports implemented a comprehensive Anti Cheat system in the game, but it has unfortunately suffered from several performance issues that the developers have tried to fix with the latest patch.

Title Update 7 will be released soon in FIFA 23

While the release date for the patch is yet to be disclosed, it is likely that it will be live in-game before the upcoming FUT Champions Weekend League. Since it is a PC-only fix, the Xbox and PlayStation versions of the game will remain unaffected.

However, all versions of the game might be subject to a server maintenance break to initiate the implementation process of the Title Update. The last time a new update was introduced in FIFA 23, servers were down for almost 10 hours.

Players are hoping that the server downtime for the implementation of the Title Update in FIFA 23 won't be as long as the previous one. With the Team of the Year promo underway, they are working hard to earn packs and don't want their progress to be hindered by extended maintenance.
