In FIFA 23 will the Women’s World Cup 2023 be accompanied by a major update. What is in the mode?
When FIFA 23 was presented, EA Sports made it clear that it wanted to give more attention to women’s football. Among other things, some club teams and leagues for women were introduced, and Australian top scorer Sam Kerr became the cover star of the game.
In some modes like Ultimate Team, however, the female players are still missing. And even among the player community, the features surrounding women’s football apparently haven’t caught on yet.
If you look at the PS5 achievement statistics for FIFA 23, you will find the achievement “Football is everything”. You get it once you play a match with women’s teams. So far, this achievement is marked as “Very Rare”, with 9.5% of players having obtained it.
Will this number increase by the release of successor EA Sports FC? It is conceivable, as a new update for FIFA 23 is to accompany the Women’s World Cup in the summer.
What kind of update is it for FIFA 23?
EA Sports presented the update for the “FIFA Women’s World Cup” on its own website (via ea.com). There should be different ways to experience the tournament directly in the game.
One option puts individual players in the foreground: In the “Take Your Country” mode, you either play as a real player or create your own, which can then be assigned to the national team. Now the tournament is played through – either with the chosen player or the entire team.
Then there is a very classic tournament mode that you can play solo. Additionally, the World Cup will also be available in kick-off, where you can play against the AI or friends on the couch.
What content is included in the update? Besides the tournament modes, all 32 qualified nations will be available. There will also be decorations for the stadium and a special presentation of the matches including new cinematics. The commentators are also expected to specifically address the tournament.
When will the update be released? EA Sports did not provide an exact date yet, mentioning “end of June”. It will be released as a free update, so it can be easily downloaded.
By the way, the real World Cup starts on July 20, 2023, and runs until August 20. The tournament will take place in Australia and New Zealand.
What else is happening in FIFA 23? A new card in Ultimate Team is currently causing a stir.
