Electronic Arts (EA) has removed FIFA games from digital storefronts like Steam and console stores, including last year’s title FIFA 23. However, players can still access the games through EA Play, the publisher’s subscription service, and physical copies are still available for purchase on consoles. The reason behind EA’s decision to delist the games is unclear, but it is speculated that it may be due to licensing issues. EA rebranded the franchise as EA Sports FC and will release the first entry under this new name on September 29.
