EA has announced that FIFA 23’s soundtrack will feature more than 100 songs, spread throughout the game. This year’s FIFA entry is the thirtieth entry into the long-running soccer/football franchise, so the team at EA Vancouver is pulling out all the stops to make the game the biggest one yet, including the introduction of the Woman’s club football leagues.Owing to FIFA ending its longstanding relationship with EA, FIFA 23 will also be the last entry in a series that started back in the 1990s. To that end, both parties have been hard at work collaborating on a setlist that appeals to the wide demographic of players that will pick up the latest entry when it is released on September 30.The FIFA 23 soundtrack is set to feature more than 100 songs from a variety of artists that touches on almost every genre of popular music. The global hitmakers that will be responsible for keeping players entertained throughout their time in the games include artists such as Bad Bunny and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Established artists aren’t the only ones getting in on the action, as the team in Vancouver is showcasing new talent, such as rapper Baby Tate, the rising duo Ibeyi, and singer/songwriter Pheelz, being added to the mix.
Not only will the music be in-game, but players who want to experience the soundtrack on the move can do so through the official FIFA 23 playlist, which has been curated on a unique Spotify playlist. EA has launched the playlist with around ninety songs, but the developers will keep adding more tracks to the playlist over the coming months.
On top of the soundtrack announcement, EA also confirmed special kits, which have been designed by artists including Jack Harlow, ROSALÍA, Pheelz, and Central Cee. These uniforms can be unlocked by completing objectives and challenges throughout the FIFA Ultimate Team mode and will be available when FIFA is released. As the season rolls on, players will be able to unlock more artist kits as they become available at various intervals.
Along with the musical announcements, the developers at EA have worked hard to send the series off with a bang. Not only will fans see Ted Lasso and AFC Richmond take to the pitch in FIFA 23, but players will also be able to play with friends on other systems as cross-play has finally been introduced into the series. Unfortunately, cross-play does not stretch to the Nintendo Switch version, as this is a legacy edition of the game.
FIFA 23 will be available on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on September 30.
