After the World Football Federation (FIFA) and Electronic Arts (EA) could not find a common voice in the new cooperation agreement, the FIFA game series has officially no longer kept the old name, since the version. FIFA 23 was released recently. Entering a new chapter, FIFA games will now take the name EA Sports FC. However, before the name change, FIFA 23 also created a record of its own.
FIFA 23 is the last game of the series to retain its name
Specifically, according to a share from Electronic Arts in a financial report for the last three months of 2022, FIFA 23 is on track to become the series’ best-selling and most profitable game to date. I don’t know if it’s the last game that should be supported by a large number of gamers, but FIFA 23 now has a strong network of players. Even EA’s game industry revenue alone accounts for 75% of its profits, along with 650 million users in this game ecosystem. Including the significant contribution of names like Need for Speed Unbound, NHL 23 and especially, FIFA 23.
At the same time, it is also the name that is bringing huge revenue to EA
For FIFA 23 alone, the number of pre-orders for this game increased by 4% over the same period, with North American sales increasing by more than 50% compared to usual. The biggest factor driving the development of this game probably comes from the FIFA Ultimate Team mode, when this is what brings great interaction and is also attractive, “suck blood” for many players through the screens. Open thrilling card. FIFA 23 had more than 10.3 million players in its first week (this figure for FIFA 22 is only 9.1 million). EA CEO Andrew Wilson also shared that FIFA 23 is well on its way to becoming the biggest game in franchise history.
