FIFA 23 seems to have leaked today and the whole game is now easily playable. It’s also possible that some actual kits that haven’t been released to the public yet have been revealed.
According to some players, preloads sent to those who pre-ordered the game accidentally went live, allowing Ultimate Edition players to launch and play the following FIFA 23 games. Trials may have started early, allowing other users to access the game.
FIFA 23 will not be playable until September 27th.
Some already play FIFA 23 on Xbox. The game hasn’t been released yet and Mistake #1 is here!

It’s unclear how this accidental release came about, but it definitely hits EA hard.
Leaks are made even more problematic by the fact that this often involves kit partners. Some of the kits that will appear in FIFA 23 have yet to be revealed by the actual clubs, but in-game versions have started leaking online, including his third kit for Liverpool and Atletico Madrid. I’m here.

Of course, that’s not the only mistake with FIFA 23 in recent weeks, after the game was mistakenly given a 99.98% discount when it was listed for pre-order on the Indian Epic Games Store. EA responded by honoring a ridiculously large discount for those who purchased it.
FIFA 23 will be the last of its name after EA chose not to pay a huge license fee to continue its partnership with FIFA. Instead, the franchise will start fresh as EA Sports FC.
