FIFA 23 was accidentally made playable a month early on Xbox

FIFA 23 was briefly playable on Xbox a month ahead of its official release.

Players reportedly managed to access the game and update it if they had been involved in the recent FIFA 23 beta test, and had preloaded the Ultimate Edition of the game.

This caused the game to open, allowing for full access to all modes including, for a brief time, FIFA Ultimate Team.

As a result, information such as player ratings and even currently unannounced Liverpool and Burnley kits have been posted across Twitter.

The game isn’t due out until late September, and as such, EA is reportedly banning any players caught streaming the game, or posting clips of the game featuring identifiable information such as an account name.

It’s unclear if EA will be able to revoke access to the offline portion of the game from the accounts of players that have already accessed the game.

While the online servers appear to have been hastily shut down in response to this leak, players can still access the offline modes such as career and kick-off.

FIFA 23 will first be officially available to the public on September 27, three days before the full release on September 30.

This year’s version of the game will include a refreshed chemistry system, a new FUT Moments mode and a wider representation of women’s football.

Marvel and EA will collaborate on a series of special Hero items that will feature comic book-style graphics of some of football’s biggest cult heroes. These items will launch in conjunction with the World Cup which takes place this winter.
