A new rumour is counting on an all-new approach for the FIFA series, with FIFA 22 the last to have an up-front cost attached.

Could FIFA 23 be free-to-play with microtransactions?

For several years now the FIFA series has been unrivaled in the field of football simulation, despite perennial rival PES attempting to make a comeback.

As part of that, it has been suggested the latest PES could be free to play, something that ultimately could push EA into adopting a similar, zero-up-front-cost model for FIFA 23. 

This comes from DonkTrading, FUT trader and regular FIFA news source who usually has a high degree of accuracy in their reports.

They have spoken of several rumors about the future of the series, stating that "FIFA 22 will be the last paid game in the franchise, and it will become free to play later."

In subsequent tweets, he reiterates that FIFA 23 will be free-to-play with unlockable purchases within the game, and that it will also have cross-platform play. They suggest Career Mode will be available to all, with additional modes made available through extra payments. 

This way, players would only pay for the parts of the game that interest them.

This isn't as far-fetched as it may sound, as with Ultimate Team, EA makes millions of dollars every season. Perhaps, this move would make the things more expensive in FUT, but could lead to many more players overall.

It's unlikely we'll see any news on FIFA 23 just yet, with this week's EA Play only just getting round to revealing FIFA 22.
