Whether you love it or hate it, there's no denying that FIFA 23 is consistently dominating the "Top Paid Games" charts on Xbox, and that's especially the case right now as it's been discounted as part of the Xbox Countdown Sale 2022.
On the Xbox Store, you're looking at £29.99 / $29.99 for the Xbox One version and £34.99 / $34.99 for the Xbox Series X|S version of FIFA 23, but if you're an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate member, you can actually get a much bigger reduction.
Here's how you can save big on FIFA 23 with Xbox Game Pass this Christmas:
- Download FIFA 22 for Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate / EA Play
- On the main menu, press in the right stick if/when you see the FIFA 23 promo
- Press "A" to buy on the FIFA 23 promotion screen
We've tested this on Xbox Series X, and in the UK you're looking at £20.99 for the Xbox Series X|S version, which is almost £15 less than on the Xbox Store itself! The Xbox One version should also be around £17.99. However, we've also seen reports from some people that the promo isn't showing up for them for whatever reason, so we can't guarantee this method will work for you.

It seems like this is an intended discount (rather than an error) as EA has kept this promotion live for quite some time now — a similar reduction is available on PS5 as well. In fact, the game was actually slightly cheaper on Xbox earlier this month using this method, but we unfortunately didn't spot that in time.
Oh, and better yet, you also get 500 free FIFA Points if you buy FIFA 23 this way!

I bought it for 16€ for the SX version last weekend, I'm happy now 😃
I still have this installed from when I tried the trial, so am tempted by this offer! 🤔 just out of curiosity, what are FIFA points used for?
Update: not working for me 🙄 instead of “buy FIFA 23 now” I just get a QR code to scan. When I scan this it takes me to a link where it’s £34.99. At £20.99 I probably would haven bitten. Oh well, it’ll be on EA play in 6 months.
@Nightcrawler71 Buying packs in Ultimate Team (500 won't get you much at all), so they won't appeal to everyone.
But yeah, I went for the offer yesterday and not regretting it so far! Plays a pretty good game of football this year.
@FraserG When I bought it this way, it didn't start downloading and I had to do it from the app. Did this happen for you as well?
@FredBiletnikoff I already had it downloaded for the trial so it was a bit different for me. All working now?
@FraserG Yeah, seems to be fine now thanks.
@FraserG This trick worked for me on Series X, thanks for sharing the tip. I’m currently playing Fifa 22 on Game Pass and I only play the Online Seasons, I don’t touch Ultimate Team, Career mode etc so do you think this is still worth it for that alone or am I better off waiting for FIFA 23 to be added to Game Pass around June next year?
@MaccaMUFC I guess it depends on how much you like the gameplay in 23 compared to 22. I'd suggest maybe playing the trial of 23 (on Game Pass Ultimate) and see what you think.
@FraserG I did try out the trial as soon as it became available and I really enjoyed it, I could see the improvements over 22 and it does seem a lot more realistic, I appreciate the little things like when slide tackling it leaves a mark on the pitch. I think EA should add dynamic weather in EA Sports FC which can affect the gameplay as the match goes on.
I only dabble in Online Seasons for a few matches a day hence why I asked is it worth it. Me doubting myself is already telling. If I played UT and Career then I think it’s a no brainer but I may just get Cyberpunk 2077 and save the rest of my MS reward points for Hogwarts Legacy.
@MaccaMUFC Might be for the best. I'm trying to save up for Hogwarts Legacy at the moment as well.
@MrConstantina what happens when you buy and unsubscribe from GAME PASS, would you still own the game?
@Marvvv Yes, FIFA is mine now.
But I'm still a subscriber to the game pass, before I bought it, I was with the trial version, but once I bought it, the "trial" banner was removed.
