FIFA 23 Standard Edition vs. Ultimate Edition

As with previous versions, FIFA 23 will boast three different editions that fans can purchase: the Standard Edition, the Ultimate Edition, and the Legacy Edition.

The Legacy Edition is a call-back to previous versions, featuring updated rosters, but "without any new development or significant enhancements," EA Sports confirmed. This is mainly for the Nintendo Switch, which only comes in Legacy Edition. It will not come with the new HyperMotion 2 technological enhancements or any of the new gameplay modes. Essentially, this is FIFA 22 with a few minor upgrades.

Team of the Week 1 player item

With the first TOTW selected before the game is released, gamers will be given one player at random out of the 23 picked as an untradeable item for FUT (FIFA Ultimate Team).

Kylian Mbappe loan item

The regular card of Kylian Mbappe will be available to be used by gamers as a loan item in FUT for five matches.

FUT Ambassador loan player pick

EA Sports will select three players as FIFA 23 ambassadors - gamers will get to select one to use their regular card as a loan item in FUT for three matches.
