FIFA 23 has dropped its official first look trailer, teasing all the new features coming to the annual football simulation game. For the first time in the series, EA Sports has included women's club teams and cross-play support — allowing for seamless play between PlayStation, Xbox, and Windows systems. FIFA 23 is scheduled to release on September 30, and will be the last in the franchise to include the ‘FIFA' moniker, as a result of disagreements with the global FIFA federation.

At launch, FIFA 23 will include two major women's leagues — the FA Women's Super League and the French Division 1 Féminine — which EA will further expand upon in the future. The Ultimate Edition cover reveal from earlier this week, featuring Chelsea Women's team's Sam Kerr, served as a dead giveaway of what to expect from this year's FIFA. She was accompanied by Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappé, marking his third consecutive appearance on the cover since FIFA 21.

This year, EA Sports has included two official World Cup modes on FIFA 23, which will be released as post-launch updates at no additional cost. The Men's tournament will be based in Qatar (as in real life with the upcoming 2022 FIFA Qatar World Cup), while the Women's cup will share stadiums in Australia and New Zealand. The 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup is going to Oceania.

Cross-play support is another great addition on FIFA 23, enabling smooth gameplay across multiple platforms, as you take on friends or randoms online. That said, this will only be supported in 1v1 modes. This would come real handy for PC players, as the server population drops a few months in. Interestingly, this year's FIFA can also be purchased via Epic Games Store, albeit an Origin account will be required for
