With game-changing next-gen HyperMotion technology on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Stadia, FUT Heroes that change the game, brand new VOLTA ARCADE game modes, more ways to team up in Pro Clubs, and the chance to create your club in Career Mode, here are 22 reasons to experience the World’s Game like never before in FIFA 22
Powered by Football™, you can play FIFA 22 now on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia!
1. HyperMotion changes the game on next-gen
FIFA 22 adds groundbreaking HyperMotion technology on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Stadia. HyperMotion elevates every match in every mode thanks to capturing 22 professional footballers playing at high intensity for the first time, and combining that data with machine learning technology to make gameplay more realistic, responsive, and fluid.
2. With the biggest animation refresh in FIFA history
The data from every touch, tackle, and sprint in Advanced 11v11 Match Capture unlocks the biggest animation refresh in FIFA history on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Stadia, with over 4000 new animations in FIFA 22 – three times more than in FIFA 21. Alongside machine learning that learned from over 8.7 million frames of data capture then wrote new animation in real-time, FIFA 22 sees our most true-to-life footballing movement ever.
3. And smarter players all over the pitch
Driven by that next-gen power, players in FIFA 22 are smarter than ever on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Stadia. Attackers can make up to 6x more decisions per second to make more intelligent runs and react quicker to loose balls, and the defensive AI has been rewritten so teams operate as a unit – moving across the pitch to cover space just like the world’s best do.
4. Immersive match days make it feel like the real thing
With fans returning to grounds around the world this season, stadiums have come alive again with the sound of the match as fans spur their teams on. FIFA 22 replicates the game’s most iconic atmospheres with new pre-match sequences including light shows, upgraded lighting, new pitch textures, and big(ger) goal moments to recreate what it feels like to be on the pitch at the world’s most famous stadiums.
5. And there are fundamental gameplay changes all over the pitch
Back on the pitch, there are plenty of fundamental changes beyond HyperMotion* that make gameplay more real. Rewritten goalkeepers make your number one more consistent between the posts, new attacking tactics give you more control over your team’s style, explosive sprint lets you feel the acceleration of the battle between attack and defence, and true ball physics make it spin, fly, and bounce like the real thing.
6. Live out your football dreams in Career Mode as a manager…
Create your club and lead it to glory in FIFA 22 Career Mode. Pick a name, design your kits, badge, and stadium, choose your team’s star rating and league, and decide your starting budget as you decide whether to work your way up from the lower leagues or go toe-to-toe with superclubs in the UEFA Champions League.
7. And as a player
Take a virtual pro from lower division reserve to the starting XI of one of the world’s biggest clubs in an overhauled Player Career. A new growth system gives you more ways to progress and develop your player, and new match objectives and manager favour make your performance count in every match you play.
8. Welcome back football’s most memorable players
Some players write their way into football folklore by creating unforgettable memories for fans of their club. Whether it’s Jerzy Dudek’s logic-defying performance as his Liverpool team came back from the brink in the 2005 UEFA Champions League Final, Diego Milito’s brace to lead Inter to the same triumph in 2010, or Mario Gomez cementing VfB Stuttgart’s third Bundesliga title, dial up the nostalgia as football’s most memorable players are back on the pitch as FUT Heroes in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team.
9. And more of the greatest to ever do it
Some players go down in history as amongst the greatest to ever do it. FIFA 22 adds four new faces to the prestigious ICONs club, the highest honour for football’s finest. Joining Pelé, Cruyff, Zidane, Ronaldo Nazário, Beckham and more in FIFA 22 are English legend Wayne Rooney, the flying Dutchman Robin van Persie, rampaging Brazilian full back Cafu, and serial trophy winner Iker Casillas. They join a squad of over 100 ICONs in FUT 22.
10. With even more ways to customise your stadium
Last season we gave your team a home to call your own with FUT Stadium – a customisable ground you could leave your mark on.
