“Is FIFA 23 PC next gen?” is the question of the day. FIFA will now be compatible with the current-gen versions on PC according to EA.
EA stated today that FIFA 23 on the PC is the same as FIFA 23 on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and Google Stadia.

As a result, FIFA 23 on PC gains the gameplay, animations, and visual enhancements of HyperMotion 2 (yep, FIFA features now have sequels).
In recent years, PC gamers have reacted negatively toward EA. The PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch editions of FIFA 22 from last year were all without the “HyperMotion” action that EA had promised. To enhance how players move throughout a match, this blends machine learning with 11v11 motion capture.
FIFA 21 on PC did not include next-generation capabilities in 2020, according to EA, in order to keep the game’s system requirements low.

The decision to keep the PC minimum requirements low was made by EA, according to executive producer Aaron McHardy, “so that we can open the doors and be inclusive to everybody who wants to play FIFA.”
“When we looked at what generation to put the PC game on, we looked at our fans and what capabilities they had with the hardware they have,” McHardy said.
When it was revealed in June 2020 that EA had made the decision to make FIFA 21 on PC identical to the PS4 and Xbox One versions without providing any justification, we guessed it was a business decision based on data that suggested the majority of PC FIFA users were probably playing on an old, or medium-power PC, and the need to prioritize development resources.
Do you know which leagues will be in FIFA 23?
The PC has now officially overtaken the PS5 and Xbox Series X and S. Additionally, but only in 1v1 scenarios, FIFA 23 supports crossplay between current-gen consoles, PC, and Stadia.
