As we approach the end of the FIFA 23 cycle, EA Sports has opted to increase the price of the in-game currency, FIFA Points.
Many FIFA players who logged into FIFA 23 Ultimate Team today would've been handed a nasty shock in the FUT Store, with the FIFA Points prices increasing overnight. EA Sports did announce that there would be a spike in FIFA Points prices starting today, June 1, but this seemingly wasn't shared on any social media platforms and has flown under most player's radars – almost as if that was the entire purpose!
FIFA Points prices are already deemed pretty costly by a lot of people, with the most expensive package in the past (12,000 Points) setting you back a hefty £79.99 / $99.99 / AU$ 120. But if you were to make this same purchase with the June 1 increase in effect, you'd be paying an extra £8 in the United Kingdom, an extra AU$30.95 in Australia. The US price hike doesn't seem to be in effect yet at the time of writing, and it's difficult to predict, given the new FIFA Points prices don't seem to have gone up by a standard percentage/ amount across the board.
