Pre-order FIFA 23: Standard and Ultimate Edition compared

FIFA 23 is now available for pre-order. There are two options with the Standard Edition and the Ultimate Edition. We’ll show you what makes the two variants different.

When is FIFA 23 coming out? FIFA 23 will officially be released on September 30, 2022. However, you can secure three days of early access with the Ultimate Edition – which starts on September 27th.

However, that is not the only difference between the two editions. Here we show you all the information, prices and content for the two editions.

A first trailer for FIFA 23 already gives an insight into what you can expect in the game:

What does FIFA 23 Standard Edition bring?

The Standard Edition brings these bonuses: Even if you only pre-order the Standard Edition, there are a few bonuses. These are:

• 1 Team of the Week item from the first TOTW in Ultimate Team 23
• A loan item “Kylian Mbappé” for 5 matches in Ultimate Team
• A 3-match Ultimate Team loan player choice between FUT Ambassadors Alphonso Davies, Son or Vinicius Jr.
• A Career Mode talent from your youth

This version can be played from September 30th.

What does FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition bring?

The Ultimate Edition brings these bonuses: This version is more expensive, has a special cover and brings some more bonuses compared to the standard edition.

• A FIFA World Cup FUT Hero item for Ultimate Team. But only if you pre-order by August 22nd. Also, you can only get the hero from November 11th.
• 3 days early access. So you can already start on September 27th.
• Both-version entitlement: If you buy the Ultimate Edition for console, the versions for both generations are included. So you can play the Ultimate Edition on PS4 and PS5, for example.
• 1 Ultimate Team Ones to Watch player item.
• 4,600 FIFA Points.
• 1 Team of the Week iteam from the first TOTW in Ultimate Team 23
• A loan item “Kylian Mbappé” for 5 matches in Ultimate Team
• A 3-match Ultimate Team loan player choice between FUT Ambassadors Alphonso Davies, Son or Vinicius Jr.
• A Career Mode talent from your youth

Is the expensive version worth it? So overall, the Ultimate Edition brings you a few benefits in Ultimate Team, but most notably early access and the ability to play the game on both generations of consoles. This is particularly interesting if you still have an “old” console when FIFA 23 is released, but are planning to upgrade to the new generation.

But if you only play on one console anyway without planning to switch, the standard edition should also be sufficient. Then the Ultimate Edition only brings something if you want the Ultimate Team bonuses.

What else should you consider? Not only are there differences between Standard and Ultimate Edition, but also between console generations. The PS4 and Xbox One versions sometimes do not have all the content that is available on NextGen.

In FIFA 22, this included the new “HyperMotion” technology, with which the animations were extensively revised. This will also be the case in FIFA 23.

Meanwhile, the first new content for FIFA 23 has been announced. Here we show you four innovations that you can expect in FIFA 23.
