Description:
The FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition was the premium tier of the game, designed to give players, particularly those focused on the FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) mode, a significant head start and extra content.
Key Content and Features
Early Access and Dual Entitlement: The Ultimate Edition allowed players to start playing the full game three days before the official worldwide release date. Additionally, it included Dual Entitlement, which meant players who bought the game for a last-gen console (PS4 or Xbox One) could upgrade to the corresponding current-gen console version (PS5 or Xbox Series X/S) at no extra cost.
FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) Content: The core value of the Ultimate Edition was the exclusive in-game items and currency for FUT. This included:
-
4,600 FIFA Points, the in-game currency used to purchase packs and enter modes like FUT Draft.
-
An Untradeable FUT Ones to Watch (OTW) Player Item, which was a dynamic card that could receive upgrades throughout the season based on real-world performance.
-
An Untradeable Team of the Week (TOTW) 1 Player Item, giving players an early special card from the first batch of weekly in-form players.
-
A Kylian Mbappé Loan Item for five FUT matches.
-
A FUT Ambassador Loan Player Pick, allowing the player to choose one ambassador for a three-match loan period.
Limited-Time Pre-Order Bonus: For customers who pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition by a specific early date, it also included an additional, highly valuable bonus: an Untradeable FIFA World Cup FUT Hero Player Item, which was delivered later in the year to coincide with the World Cup content.
Career Mode Perk: The Ultimate Edition also included one benefit for Career Mode players: a Career Mode Homegrown Talent, which provided a local youth prospect with world-class potential to start in their club's youth academy.
