FIFA 23 Editions

FIFA 23 Editions


EA Sports FIFA titles have been released every year since 1993. Still, it was only in FIFA 18 that Electronic Arts decided to create different editions featuring different content for the same game. The goal was to create a specific product that players could identify with, increase engagement, and make a few more dollars.

Not counting with the Legacy Edition for Nintendo Switch, FIFA 23 has two editions, Standard and Ultimate, with different release dates, prices and pre-order offers.

Ultimate Edition Offers
FIFA Points is the only offer that is not exclusive to pre-orders. Except for the OTW item (September 30) and the FUT Hero item (November 11), all other offers are delivered as soon as you play FUT for the first time on your console/PC.

FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition includes all Standard Edition offers PLUS:

  • Early Access
    You don’t have to wait until the launch date to start playing FIFA 23. The Ultimate Edition unlocks your game three days earlier, so you can play the full game at midnight without any restriction.

  • FIFA Points
    There is no better way to boost your first team than opening a few FUT packs. Unfortunately, the best promo packs are only released later but the 4,600 FIFA Points are still very useful at this point of the season.

  • Dual Entitlement
    Those who pre-order the Ultimate Edition can upgrade their copy of FIFA 23 from prior generation at no additional cost.

  • Untradeable OTW Item
    Ones to Watch are the first special items of the season. They are released on the launch date, and you will receive one random untradeable item for your FUT squad, which can be upgraded based on the player and team performance.

  • Untradeable FIFA WC Hero Item
    Those who pre-order FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition before August 21 receive a random Hero Player item on November 11 that can be used freely in your team but cannot be sold.
Release Date

Release Dates


For FIFA fans, the most important feature of the most expensive edition is the ability to start playing earlier. While those who bought the Standard Edition must wait until midnight of the launch date, Ultimate Edition owners can start playing three days earlier.

EA Play early access also starts three days before the release date, but you cannot play it for more than 10 hours. That’s not enough for most of the players. With the Ultimate Edition, you can play the full game without restriction.
