FIFA 23 is a singleplayer and multiplayer sports game co-developed by EA Vancouver and EA Romania and published by Electronic Arts via their EA Sports brand. It is a licensed FIFA game and the last game in the series as EA and FIFA's licensing agreement was terminated on December 31, 2022.

FIFA 23 is EA's first soccer game to feature crossplay between PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Stadia.

It was released worldwide on September 30, 2022.

Unlike past FIFA titles since FIFA 21, the PC version has features that are comparable to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X versions. This includes better graphics and the HyperMotion Technology, which were previously exclusive to newer consoles in prior games.[1]

Following the termination of the licensing agreement between EA and FIFA, the game was made unavailable as an one-time purchase on all digital storefronts on September 28, 2023, and is currently only available as part of the EA Play subscription service.[2]

Unknown error: There have been unknown anti-cheat-related errors reported to be mitigated by uninstalling the anti-cheat and letting it reinstall.
Secure Boot: On Windows 11, the new anti-cheat bundled with FIFA 23 requires a Secure Boot-enabled system to launch. (Windows 11 needs Secure Boot to install.) Should you launch the game on a Windows 11 machine with Secure Boot turned off, the game crashes on startup with a Security Violation - Secure Boot is not enabled on this machine. This effectively means that you need to enable the feature from within your BIOS in order to play the game. The process differs depending on the board manuacturer.

There is currently no way to bypass the anti-cheat requirement.[3]
There have been further issues surrounding this new anti-cheat solution that has been reported on EA's forums.
