FIFA 23 Pre Order


EA Sports FIFA is a series of football video games released annually by Electronic Arts, and FIFA 23 is the last title ever developed by this studio. Not counting with the Legacy Edition available for Nintendo Switch, it is worldwide released for the following platforms:

  • Next-Generation
    • PlayStation 5
    • Xbox Series X|S
    • Stadia
    • PC Origin
    • PC Steam
    • PC Epic Games
  • Current-Generation
    • PlayStation 4
    • Xbox One
FIFA 23 officially launches on Friday, September 30, but you don’t have to wait so long to buy it. Pre-orders are available from July 20, 2022 to the day before the date release. When you pre order FIFA 23, the disc is dispatched on the release day, or you can start playing it at midnight if you buy the digital version.

The good thing about pre-ordering is that you will pay the same and get a few exclusive offers. However, if you don’t plan to play it all the time, buying it later on, especially at Christmas, may be cheaper as game prices usually drop around this time.

Buy FIFA 23


FIFA 23 is not free-to-play, so you will have to buy it if you want to play it. You can do it in a video game retailer or on your console store, during the pre-order period or after the game goes out.

These are the two first decisions you have to make. While this last choice only depends on how much you want to get exclusive offers, choosing between digital or physical copy can be more challenging.


Digital Version or Physical Version?

Reasons to buy the digital version
  • You can pre-download and start playing at midnight of the release date;
  • You don’t have to go to any retail store;
  • It’s easier to switch between games;
  • There is no DVD that eventually could break or damage.
Reasons to buy the physical version
  • It may be cheaper;
  • You can ask for a refund;
  • You don’t have to pre-download a huge file;
  • You keep a hard copy for your collection;
  • You can sell it later.
Digital sales are becoming more popular yearly, currently representing around 75% in the case of FIFA 23.

How to Buy FIFA 23


If your choice is to buy a physical copy of FIFA 23, we don’t need to explain how to do it: go to a retail store or order from the internet, insert the disc in your console, log in to your Origin account (or create a new one) and start playing it. On the other hand, if you opted in for the digital version of FIFA 23, things are slightly more tricky:

How to Buy a Digital Copy of FIFA 23
  1. Go to the Origin, Steam, Stadia, or console store of your region and search by ‘FIFA 23’;
  2. Choose one of the editions and make the payment;
  3. Except for Stadia users, who can play it immediately, start the download if available. If pre-ordering the game, go to the console’s library to see when the pre-download will become available. Usually, the Xbox download is made available several weeks before, while PlayStation users have to wait almost until the early access date. Those who installed the EA Play trial need to download a small file to unlock the full game.
  4. Log in to your Origin account and start playing it.
Remember to double-check the account you are using before placing an order. If you share your console with someone, the rewards will be assigned only to the account used to buy the game, and there is no way to change this. The account should also match the one you already have. Otherwise, you will lose your progress from previous editions, including FIFA Points balance.
