FIFA 23 just got a lot better for next-gen consoles and PC players. Title Update 6 went live recently and it brought some new features to the game, plus a ton of bug squashing related to Gameplay, Ultimate Team, and more.
In some specific cases, the visual fidelity on Xbox Series S has been improved. Custom controller settings won’t default in Kick Off mode and radar won’t disappear during matches anymore.
You can read the portion of the patch notes below.
FIFA Ultimate Team
Made the following change:
- Added a View Help button callout to the FUT Main Menu, Transfer Market Menu, Match Pause Screen, and when entry into FUT isn’t possible.
