Cross-platform play and PC feature parity anchor the last game of a 30-year lineage EA Sports and FIFA are breaking up after this year, but developers at EA Vancouver vow fans will get a passionate last dance in FIFA 23, which the studio is billing as the biggest soccer game it’s ever built.
EA Sports confirmed that a new matchmaking ecosystem, tested this spring in FIFA 22, will be available at launch.
That will extend the work begun with FIFA 22, which delivered motion-captured animations from full, 11-on-11 matches of soccer, played by professionals and recorded by EA Sports Vancouver developers.
For starters, FIFA 23 will deliver long anticipated — and overdue, in the eyes of many — cross-platform multiplayer, with some limitations at first.
