Can I Run FIFA 23 on My PC / Laptop?
The last game to carry the FIFA name before the series became EA Sports FC. Easy to run on almost any PC; the real catch is that it was pulled from Steam years ago and its servers are now shut down.
Check if your PC can run FIFA 23
Pick your graphics card and processor to check.
Can I run FIFA 23 on my PC?
Use the checker above to find out in seconds. Pick your graphics card and processor and it compares them against FIFA 23's official requirements. As a quick guide, you need at least a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 570 graphics card, a Intel Core i5 6600k or AMD Ryzen 5 1600 processor, and 8 GB RAM of RAM to play at 1080p.
Can I run FIFA 23 on my laptop?
Yes, if your laptop has a dedicated graphics card around a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 570 or better and 8 GB RAM of RAM. Laptops with only integrated graphics usually fall short. Enter your laptop's GPU in the tool above to check. Keep in mind that the laptop version of a card runs a little slower than the desktop card of the same name, and heat can lower sustained frame rates.
Almost any PC built in the last decade runs FIFA 23. The official minimum is a GTX 1050 Ti or RX 570, both roughly eight-year-old cards, and anything above that usually clears 90 to 100+ fps at 1080p on Ultra. The thing people actually run into is not a hardware wall. EA pulled FIFA 23 from Steam and other stores back in September 2023 when the franchise rebranded to EA Sports FC, and then shut down its online servers entirely on October 30, 2025. If you already own it, it still installs and runs, but Ultimate Team, Pro Clubs and online matchmaking are gone for good. Kick Off and offline Career Mode still work on any machine that meets the spec below.
Compare your exact CPU and GPU against FIFA 23's requirements in the checker above. Below that sit the full spec tiers, real frame rate numbers across a spread of cards from an eight-year-old GTX 1050 Ti up to an RTX 4070, and why replays and cutscenes look capped even when gameplay itself is running well past 100 fps.

FIFA 23 FPS by graphics card
| Graphics card | 1080p | 1440p | 4K | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GTX 1050 Ti | ~60-80 (Low-Medium) | , | , | The official minimum card. It clears 60 fps comfortably; this engine was never built to stress the GPU. |
| RX 580 | ~60+ (Ultra) | , | , | Holds a steady 60 at Ultra according to independent PC performance testing. |
| GTX 1650 | ~90-100 (Ultra) | , | , | Comfortably above 60 across all four settings presets. |
| GTX 1060 6GB | ~100+ (Ultra) | , | , | Some testers report 100+ fps at 1080p Ultra, though a few report occasional stutter tied to specific monitors, not the card. |
| RTX 2060 | ~100+ (Ultra) | , | , | Well past 60 at every setting; CPU and driver overhead matter more than GPU headroom here. |
| RTX 3060 | ~90-100+ | ~60-90 | , | Runs smoothly at 1080p high on a laptop-class 3060; 1440p stays well above 60 on desktop parts. |
| RTX 4060 Ti | , | ~186 (with a strong CPU) | ~108 (with a strong CPU) | Paired with a high-end CPU like a Ryzen 7 9800X3D. A mid-range CPU will land lower since FIFA 23 leans on single-thread speed. |
| RTX 4070 | , | ~220+ (with a strong CPU) | ~129 (with a strong CPU) | Far beyond what this game needs. You would buy this card for other games, not FIFA 23. |
These numbers are approximate and come from community benchmarks, not a fixed built-in benchmark tool (FIFA 23 does not have one). They swing more with your CPU than with most games, since match gameplay is lightly threaded, and cutscenes and replays are frame-limited separately from live play. Expect variance by driver, weather effects, and crowd density.

The real limiter is not your PC, it is the storefront and the servers
FIFA 23 will run on almost any PC that clears the minimum spec, so the honest answer to "can I run it" has been yes for years. What changed is the game itself. EA delisted FIFA 23 from Steam and every other digital storefront in September 2023, right after the franchise rebranded to EA Sports FC, so you cannot buy a new copy anywhere. If you already own it, the Steam page still exists and the game still downloads and installs normally.
Then, on October 30, 2025, EA shut down FIFA 23's online infrastructure completely. Ultimate Team, Pro Clubs, Volta online, co-op seasons and regular online matchmaking no longer work on any platform, PC included. What still runs today is Kick Off, offline Career Mode (including the AFC Richmond content added from Ted Lasso), and local couch play. You will need to log into the EA App at least once and set it to offline mode afterward, since the launcher itself does not support a pure offline install from the start. Once you are past that, no live connection is required to keep playing the single-player modes.
Why the frame counter looks broken in cutscenes
A common complaint is FIFA 23 running at 100+ fps during a match and then dropping to something like 40 to 60 in replays, kickoff cutscenes, and the pre-match walkout. That is not your hardware struggling. The game applies a separate frame cap to non-gameplay scenes, and on some setups double buffering with vsync forced on makes it feel worse than it is.
Two fixes clear most of it. First, turn off vertical sync inside the game and in your GPU control panel, then set a frame rate cap there instead (200 is a common choice that still lets gameplay run high while cutscenes settle near 60). Second, right-click the FIFA23.exe file, open Properties, Compatibility, and enable "Disable fullscreen optimizations," which stops Windows from forcing the double-buffered path that causes the stutter.
What actually decides whether you can play it
The GPU is rarely the bottleneck in FIFA 23. The engine is a scaled-back build of Frostbite tuned for a football pitch, not an open world, so even the official minimum GTX 1050 Ti holds 60 fps. Your CPU matters more, since match logic and crowd simulation lean on single-thread performance, and an old dual-core CPU will bottleneck a modern GPU here well before the graphics card runs out of headroom.
DirectX 12 is a hard requirement. There is no DirectX 11 fallback, so a card that only supports DX11 will not launch the game regardless of raw power. RAM is the other thing people underestimate: 8 GB is the stated minimum, but 12 GB is what EA recommends, and running Ultimate Team-era browser tabs or Discord alongside an 8 GB system is a common cause of stutter that has nothing to do with the graphics settings.
Can I run FIFA 23? Your questions answered
An Intel Core i5 6600k or AMD Ryzen 5 1600 processor, an NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti or AMD RX 570 graphics card, 8 GB of RAM, DirectX 12, and 100 GB of free storage. The full minimum and recommended tables are above.
An Intel Core i7 6700 or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X processor, a GTX 1660 or RX 5600 XT graphics card, and 12 GB of RAM. That combination holds 60 fps or more at 1080p on high to ultra settings without much effort.
No. It is one of the lighter big-budget releases on Steam. Cards from the GTX 10 series and RX 500 series still clear 60 to 100 fps at 1080p, and most stutter reports trace back to storage, RAM, or driver settings rather than the graphics card being too weak.
The game caps non-gameplay scenes like replays and kickoff walkouts separately from live match fps, so a PC that runs matches at 100+ fps can show 40 to 60 in a cutscene. Disabling vsync and setting "Disable fullscreen optimizations" on the exe file under Compatibility clears most of it.
Enough to clear the stated minimum, though EA's own recommended spec calls for 12 GB. On 8 GB, close background apps and browser tabs before launching to avoid stutter, particularly on squad management screens.
It is not a listed requirement. A hard drive will run the game, but load times and the transition between menus and matches are noticeably faster on an SSD, and it is what most PC builds ship with by default now anyway.
About 100 GB. Some players report the install growing a bit past that once roster updates and patches are applied, so keep extra headroom free.
It needs DirectX 12. There is no DirectX 11 mode, despite that being a common search, so a GPU or driver stack limited to DX11 will not launch the game.
No. EA shut down FIFA 23's online services on October 30, 2025. Ultimate Team, Pro Clubs, Volta online, and regular online matches no longer function on PC or any console. Offline Career Mode and Kick Off still work.
No. EA delisted FIFA 23 from Steam and every other digital storefront in September 2023. The Steam store page still exists and is still directly reachable, but there is no buy button. If you already own it from before the delisting, it still downloads and installs from your library.
You need one for the initial EA App login, and there is no built-in fully offline installer. After logging in once, you can switch the EA App to offline mode and play Career Mode and Kick Off without a live connection.
No. The Switch version is a cosmetic update built on the same base as the FIFA 22 Legacy Edition, itself an older-generation engine, not the Frostbite build this page and the PC/PS5/Xbox Series versions use. It got new kits, squads, and a couple of stadiums, nothing more.
No. FIFA 23 and EA Sports FC 24 are separate games with separate accounts and Ultimate Team clubs. Nothing transfers automatically between them.
Only for offline Career Mode or Kick Off, and only if you specifically want that season's rosters and the Ted Lasso crossover content. With online services gone, a current EA Sports FC title is the only option for Ultimate Team or online matches.
Update your GPU driver, turn off vsync in favor of a driver-level frame rate cap, disable fullscreen optimizations on the exe, and lower crowd density and motion blur first since those cost more than they add visually. Most PCs above the minimum spec do not need to touch resolution or texture quality.
CPU intensive, relatively speaking. Match logic, crowd behavior, and AI positioning lean on single-thread CPU speed, while the graphics load itself is light by modern standards. An old GPU rarely holds this game back; an old CPU can.
It had cross-play between PC, PlayStation, and Xbox while the servers were live. Since EA shut down online services on October 30, 2025, cross-play no longer matters because there is no online mode left to play across platforms in.
Comfortably, yes. The RTX 3050 clears FIFA 23's recommended bar, which puts high 1080p and 1440p both in reach.
Yes, at the lower end. With the GTX 1650 you clear FIFA 23's minimum, so 1080p low to medium is the target and easing back a setting helps. Around 90 to 100 fps at 1080p Ultra across all presets.
Yes, though keep expectations modest. The GTX 1060 6GB clears FIFA 23's minimum, so plan on 1080p at low to medium and trim a setting or two for a steady frame rate. Commonly over 100 fps at 1080p Ultra, well past what the game needs.
It will run. The RX 580 meets FIFA 23's minimum, which means 1080p on low to medium and a smoother result once you lower a couple of options. Independent testing shows a steady 60 fps at 1080p Ultra.
Plenty of power here. The RTX 4060 is above FIFA 23's recommended tier, so high 1080p is smooth and 1440p is a fair target.
Yes, comfortably. The RTX 3060 sits at or above FIFA 23's recommended card, so 1080p on high is smooth and 1440p is well within reach. Around 90 to 100+ fps at 1080p and 60 to 90 fps at 1440p depending on the rest of the system.
Plenty of power here. The RTX 2060 is above FIFA 23's recommended tier, so high 1080p is smooth and 1440p is a fair target. Comfortably over 100 fps at 1080p; CPU and driver settings matter more than GPU headroom.
Yes. The GTX 1660 has headroom over FIFA 23's recommended card, so you can push 1080p high and move to 1440p when you want.
Yes. The GTX 1660 Super has headroom over FIFA 23's recommended card, so you can push 1080p high and move to 1440p when you want.
Yes, comfortably. The RX 6600 sits at or above FIFA 23's recommended card, so 1080p on high is smooth and 1440p is well within reach.
Yes, comfortably. The GTX 1660 Ti sits at or above FIFA 23's recommended card, so 1080p on high is smooth and 1440p is well within reach.
No trouble at all. The RTX 3060 Ti meets or beats what FIFA 23 recommends, so 1080p high runs well and 1440p is realistic.
The RTX 4050 is a strong fit for FIFA 23. It lands at or above the recommended spec, so high 1080p is comfortable and 1440p works.
Runnable. The GTX 1050 Ti covers FIFA 23's minimum, meaning 1080p low to medium and a smoother feel after a small settings drop. The official minimum card holds roughly 60 to 80 fps at 1080p on low to medium settings.
Yes, with room to spare. FIFA 23 recommends less than the RTX 4070 offers, so expect smooth 1080p high and a playable 1440p. Over 220 fps at 1440p and around 129 fps at 4K with a strong CPU; overkill for this game.
No FIFA title has ever had a Mac version, this one included. Boosteroid cloud streaming or a Windows layer such as Parallels are the options on a MacBook, since FIFA 23 is absent from GeForce Now, and it briefly lived on Xbox Game Pass before disappearing from there by mid-2026.
Yes, with lowered settings. Iris Xe laptops typically manage 40 to 50 fps in live gameplay but drop to 15 to 25 fps in replays, so capping the game at 720p Low with a locked 30 fps target gives the most stable result. Older Intel UHD chips sit below that and struggle to stay smooth even at low settings.
No Chromebook carries a dedicated GPU capable of this, so a service like Boosteroid, running the game on remote hardware and sending back video, is your only route.
It runs, but it is one of the rougher EA titles on Proton. FIFA 23 sits at a Bronze rating on ProtonDB because the mandatory EA App does not have native Linux support, so login and launch issues are common even though the hardware itself is more than powerful enough. Windows-based handhelds like the ROG Ally or Legion Go avoid that problem entirely and run it easily.
Yes, on a card like an RTX 3080 or RX 6800 XT and up for a steady 60 fps, based on benchmark testing rather than an official EA 4K spec. Weaker cards can still output 4K, just below 60 fps in busy stadium scenes.
Yes, easily. An RTX 3060 or similar mid-range card holds 60 to 90+ fps at 1440p on high settings, and stronger cards push well past 100.
Almost anything at or above the official minimum. Even a GTX 1050 Ti holds 60 fps at 1080p, and the recommended-spec GTX 1660 clears it with room to spare on higher settings.
Yes, from roughly a GTX 1060 6GB or RX 580 upward, both of which hold 60 to 100+ fps at 1080p Ultra. This is not a demanding game at its highest preset.
Yes for this game specifically. FIFA 23's textures and effects are modest, so 4 GB cards like the GTX 1050 Ti or RX 570 are the official minimum and do not run into the VRAM ceilings you see in bigger open-world titles.
Generally yes, since the official minimum is only a 4-core i5 6600k or Ryzen 5 1600 class chip, and FIFA 23 does not scale heavily across many cores. A recent quad-core i3 or Ryzen 3 usually keeps up, though an older dual-core chip from the same family will bottleneck harder in busy stadium crowds.
A GPU below the GTX 1050 Ti or RX 570, a card stuck on DirectX 11, an outdated EA App or Anti-Cheat component, and corrupted install files cover most cases. Verifying game files and updating both the GPU driver and the EA App clears up the majority of launch failures.
No native Linux version exists, and Proton support trails most EA titles here, sitting at a Bronze rating on ProtonDB. The game engine itself is fine; the mandatory EA App is the weak link, since it has no native Linux support, so login and launch failures are the common complaint rather than raw performance. Budget some time getting the EA App signed in before kickoff, and check ProtonDB for your specific setup beforehand.
Yes, and on Xbox One as well. Online play there is affected by the same October 30, 2025 server shutdown as PC, so only Kick Off and offline Career Mode remain playable. This page focuses on the PC version.
Yes, both versions exist and both lost online functionality when EA closed the servers in October 2025. Offline Kick Off and Career Mode still work on either console. This page focuses on the PC version.
Yes, PS5 plays the PS4 disc through backward compatibility, running the PS4 build itself rather than a native PS5 upgrade. Online features are dead on either console anyway, since the shutdown hit every platform equally.
Only through the separate Legacy Edition, which uses an older, cosmetically updated engine rather than the Frostbite build covered here. It is a different product with the same season's rosters, not a scaled-down port of the PC version.
Boosteroid supports it, and it was previously available on Xbox Game Pass, though that has since been removed as of mid-2026. It is not on GeForce Now.
Yes. At the minimum of a GTX 1050 Ti, an i5 6600k, and 8 GB of RAM you can expect 60 to 80 fps at 1080p on low to medium settings. This is one of the easier modern releases to get running on older hardware.
It is below the official GTX 1050 Ti minimum, so it is not guaranteed, but the standard 1050 is close enough in raw power that most players report it playable at 1080p on low to medium settings, just with less headroom than the Ti version.
It falls short of the official minimum but is a similar generation to it, so it typically runs at 1080p low to medium settings around 50 to 60 fps rather than a guaranteed smooth 60.
This laptop GPU is noticeably weaker than the desktop GTX 1050 Ti minimum, so expect 720p to 900p on low settings for a stable frame rate rather than a comfortable 1080p experience.
It is below the minimum spec. Expect to run at 720p on the lowest settings, and even then some drops during busy match moments like corners and crowded penalty boxes.
No. The EA App (or Origin on older installs) is required to launch and authenticate the game, even for offline play. You need at least one online login before switching the launcher to offline mode.
No. FIFA 23 was not released for either console. EA stopped releasing FIFA on that console generation several years earlier, and the last-gen PS4/Xbox One version is the oldest platform it actually shipped on.
It sits a generation below the official GTX 1050 Ti minimum, but FIFA 23's engine is light enough that most players still get a playable 1080p experience on low to medium settings, roughly in the 40 to 60 fps range depending on the rest of the system.
