Why has FIFA 22 gone down?

The outage is the result of planned maintenance work on the game’s servers, according to EA Sports, which makes the FIFA games.

When game-makers make major improvements to their services, they frequently shut down servers for a few hours to make the changes.

The tactic is regularly employed by FIFA as well as Fortnite-maker Epic Games.

EA said that it expects the scheduled maintenance to last from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. UK time (2 a.m. to 5 a.m. EST).

“During this time, you may be disconnected or unable to access online services and modes, including FUT,” EA said.

Every game in the franchise released since FIFA 15 is affected across all platforms.
