EA Sports’ football-based video game FIFA has been a huge hit with the players over the years. They release a new version of the game around September each year. FIFA 22 has been relatively better gameplay-wise but the transfer market has been very low this year.
One of the major drawbacks of the FIFA video game franchise is the lack of cross-play. The game can be played on PC, Xbox and Playstation but cross-play isn’t available. The transfer market and all the online modes of the game were restricted to each specific platform.
However, many things are going to change in the upcoming FIFA 23 edition, which is expected to be the last game of this franchise. The current partnership between EA Sports and FIFA has been extended to cover World Cup but this year’s FIFA 23 could be the last game of the franchise to be released. Starting from July 2023, EA Sports will be launching EA Sports FC which will take the place of the football-based video game.
