Football roster game updates sure have their place within video game corporations, as they’re guaranteed money draws. And EA’s latest footie title has proven that once again.

EA claims that its latest football game FIFA 23 has enjoyed a record-breaking launch in terms of first-week player numbers. The game has attracted over 10.3 million players in its first week of availability. For comparison, FIFA 22 attracted 9.1 million players in the first 10 days since its release last year. Here’s the official press release quip:

“The response from our fans has been nothing short of incredible, and we’re thrilled that our community is playing with their favourite players and teams across FIFA 23 in record numbers. With both the Men’s and Women’s World Cups, and exciting updates to our women’s club football content in game still yet to come, we’re just getting started on providing players with the most authentic and immersive experience yet.”
