The FIFA 23 game is on the way to becoming the best-selling game in the history of the series.

According to the latest published statistics, the newest version of the FIFA sports series is on the way to becoming the best-selling game of this series.

Electronic Arts recently published its financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year 2023, i.e., the last three months of 2022, and announced that FIFA 23 is on its way to setting a new revenue record. It should be noted that this version will be the last game of the FIFA series made by this company, and due to issues related to obtaining a license from the FIFA organization, this series of games will be rebooted in the summer of this year under the new EA Sports brand.

Andrew Wilson, CEO of Electronic Arts, announced in a statement that in the third quarter, Electronic Arts delivered high-quality games that broke various records and grew the company’s player community. What the publisher calls the player community now has over 650 million players across its games. On the other hand, the profit of service-oriented works and items such as in-app purchases has increased by 4% compared to last year and now constitutes 75% of the total net profit of Electronic Arts.

Electronic Arts also singled out games like NHL 23 and Need for Speed Unbound as AAA-quality titles, stating that development teams delivered 128 updates for 36 games during the period. The Sims added more than 10 million new players during the period. It has attracted three months. Next, Andrew Wilson announced that FIFA 23 is becoming the biggest game in the series’ history and has grown by 4% in revenue since the beginning of the year. On the other hand, specifically in North America, the sales of different game versions have increased by 50% compared to the previous year.

The most significant factor that caused this growth is FIFA Ultimate Team; on the other hand, direct sales of the game are also very high. According to statistics, FIFA 23 reached more than 10.3 million players in its first week of release. Of course, its association with the holding of the World Cup has not been without influence. In any case, it remains to be seen what will happen to this popular series later this year when FIFA changes its name. An event that many risks will accompany.

FIFA 23 is now available on Xbox 8th and 9th generation consoles, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
