Every year, EA launches a brand new title to its soccer series, FIFA, giving fans a chance to play using their favorite players.

It was just a matter of minutes before sources took down Aggiornamenti Lumia’s picture. Sadly, only a handful could have a sneak peek of the upcoming FIFA 23 cover picture in September.

The leaker also mentioned that Xbox accidentally leaked the closed beta on the Xbox store alongside users, confirming the same.

Apart from this, Aggiornamenti separately posted an exclusive Manchester City celebration which was again taken down because of copyrights. EA plans to drop FIFA 23 on September 30, 2022. While this date is just confirmed for Xbox, one can easily predict about the game releasing around the same time for other consoles.
