A new update for EA’s FIFA 23 is now live across all platforms. Earlier this month, Title Update 6 for FIFA 23 began rolling out specific platforms with the promise that it would end up coming to every avenue at a later date. Now, that patch is finally live everywhere, in addition to a small new update for other platforms.ย 

As of this moment, Title Update 6 is now available to download on PS4 and Xbox One. Since this is a main Title Update for FIFA 23, there are quite a few changes being made with this patch. Specifically, EA Sports has tweaked quite a few gameplay features to go along with some visual and audio changes. The game’s World Cup mode has also received a handful of improvements as well.ย

As mentioned, Title Update 6 had already come to other platforms for FIFA 23 earlier this month. Specifically, those on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC have had this patch for a bit. Despite this, those on current-gen platforms are still getting a small new update today with patch 6.1. This update doesn’t do much, though, and merely fixes a problem that was found with Pro Clubs.ย
