Although the FIFA 23 release is actually still a month away, some players seem to be able to play it on Xbox already. The leak is leading to big discussions, as ratings are also being shared.
Update, September 1, 2022: EA has officially commented on the incident. They stated that on Tuesday a “small number of players” were mistakenly granted access to a two-hour trial version on the Xbox One version. Access has been removed, and the content is reportedly not all final yet.
Here the original article continues.
FIFA 23 on Xbox probably playable: As some players are reporting on platforms like Twitter or the FIFA subreddit, they seem to have received early access to FIFA 23. Some players even showed first scenes from the game on Twitch.
Apparently, these players were able to download and play the Xbox One version of FIFA 23 if they had pre-ordered it – the official release of the game is not until September 30, which is exactly one month away.
However, it seems that this is not working for all players on Xbox. It is still unclear under what exact conditions this is happening. An official statement from EA regarding the situation is not yet available; MeinMMO has requested a statement.
What is certain is that the current leaks are already causing a lot of discussions.

Among other things, the ratings of the top players in FIFA 23 can be seen, including cards of players like Lewandowski, Ronaldo, or Messi.
For example, the pace values for Messi and Ronaldo stand out, which are not particularly strong – and have apparently shocked the biggest streamer for FIFA 23, Castro1021:
Streamer RuntheFUTMarket has already dealt with the leaks and discusses numerous players and hero cards in his video:
Whether the card values will ultimately all make it into the game remains to be seen – after all, the release of FIFA 23 is still a month away.
To what extent the game is already completely finished and what version is exactly available on Xbox will be revealed in the coming hours and days – assuming the current version is not disabled again. We will keep you updated!
