FIFA 23 on Xbox Game Pass - Release date, how to access, and more

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate allows subscribers access to all of the vanilla Game Pass games and Xbox Live Gold advantages, as well as all EA Play titles. New EA titles are often released to the EA Play portfolio between six months and a year, which is what is happening with FIFA 23. Though the wait may feel long for FIFA players, the promise of playing the latest installment of the iconic video game franchise is undeniably worth it.

EA has confirmed that FIFA 23 will be available on Xbox Game Pass for Ultimate subscribers and EA Play on May 16. This latest entry in the FIFA series claims to offer the ultimate football experience, replete with new features and better gameplay dynamics.

FIFA 23 will finally join Xbox Game Pass on May 16: How to access, and more

FIFA 23 will be added to the EA Play collection on May 16, making it available to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. FIFA 23 is the latest iteration of EA's long-running and hugely popular FIFA series of games. Hence, it will be a substantial addition to the Game Pass Ultimate catalog.

While Microsoft has disclosed all of the new Xbox Game Pass games for the first half of May 2023, the second half is unlikely to be revealed until early next week. On the other hand, recent release date announcements have hinted at what players can anticipate.

In previous years, EA has invested a lot of time and effort into developing FIFA's Career modes, which is true again in FIFA 23. Players can now control even the slightest things, from training programs to how a manager interacts and dresses on the touchline, whether controlling an emerging talent or someone making their first excursion into club management.

Although Ultimate Team and Career modes are some of the most prominent game modes in FIFA 23, there are many other opportunities for players to put their abilities to the test. Some of these include Online Seasons games and the increasingly famous Volta football mode, which provide a welcome diversion from the more grind-oriented nature of FUT and manager mode.
