The countdown has begun for the FIFA World Cup 2022, which will begin days later. The tournament, where football excitement will peak, also winks to FIFA 23. EA Sports has announced a new free DLC, which includes tournament mode, Ultimate Team, and Country roster updates. So, here are all the details about the FIFA 23 World Cup DLC.
FIFA 23 World Cup DLC Skips Nintendo Switch
From Kick Off to FIFA Ultimate Team, the FIFA World Cup experience can be played in many different ways, so let’s jump right in.
FIFA World Cup Kick Off
FIFA World Cup Kick-Off gives you a chance to play against friends locally or against the CPU AI. You’ll be able to play in any stage of the competition and choose a side from any of the 32 qualified teams or from any other national team available in FIFA 23.
FIFA World Cup 2022 Tournaments
In Tournaments, you can take your team through the whole FIFA World Cup journey, from the first group stage match all the way to the final, potentially lifting the trophy at Lusail Stadium.
You’ll be able to customize your FIFA World Cup journey as the national teams featured in FIFA 23 that did not qualify for the FIFA World Cup 2022 can be swapped into a Custom FIFA World Cup Tournament. Be it winning a semi-final at Al Bayt or lifting the trophy at the Lusail, the atmosphere will be electric in the two authentically-recreated official stadiums in the FIFA World Cup modes.
Online Tournament
In Online Tournaments, you can compete against other FIFA World Cup players. Pick any international team available in FIFA 23 and try to win against four online opponents in the FIFA World Cup knockout stages to claim the famous trophy. Online Tournament cross-play will be available for players on the same platform generation.
FIFA World Cup: Live
As results start coming in after the opening match on November 20, the FIFA World Cup: Live mode will be updated during the Group and Knockout Stage. Starting November 21, you’ll be able to monitor the progress of your favorite team inside the tournament and play through their fixtures in three different ways.
Featured Quickplay
You can select any past or present FIFA World Cup 2022 fixture for which the two are already known and play the match against friends locally or challenge the CPU AI.
Online Quickplay
In Online Quickplay, you can choose the fixture you want to play against a friend online. If you or your friend’s supported nation didn’t qualify for the FIFA World Cup 2022, you could still face each other by choosing All National Teams and selecting any playable national team in FIFA 23. Online Quickplay supports cross-play as well, between friends on the same platform generation.
Your FIFA World Cup
As the tournament unfolds, you’ll be able to inherit real-world progress into a FIFA World Cup tournament save and take matters into your own hands, influencing the course of football history as you see fit.
Pick your starting point from any past or current fixture and inherit real-world results and statistics up to that point. As fixtures are updated with real results in FIFA World Cup: Live, new starting points unlock for Your FIFA World Cup. The Your FIFA World Cup mode will be available after the results from the first Match Day 1 fixture are updated in the game.
The new DLC will go live in FIFA 23 on November 9, and only Nintendo Switch players will not experience it. For more information regarding this update, visit the official EA site.
