WORLD Cup mode is being developed for FIFA 23 to be released in time with the real FIFA World Cup starting November in Qatar.
However, some FIFA 23 players on PlayStation 5 have caught glimpses of the upcoming mode as it was accidentally leaked early.

Only a few screens were shown, but it has given us quite a bit of information on what we can expect from the upcoming mode.
There are quite a number of changes players weren’t expecting which would add to the replayability of the mode.
According to Eurogamer, screenshots posted on Twitter have revealed more clubs than expected in the FIFA version of the World Cup.
While the real sporting event only has 36 nations, and therefore teams, participating, the upcoming mode will have 48 teams.
It is still unknown who these 12 extra teams will be, though it is likely to be teams that were expected to qualify.
This includes many countries where football and FIFA are popular such as Italy, Hungary, Nigeria and Sweden.
From the screenshots we could also see that there will be four different ways to play FIFA’s World Cup mode.
These four sub-modes are: FIFA World Cup Live, FIFA World Cup Kick Off, Online Tournament, and FIFA World Cup 2022.

The last three modes were available the last time a World Cup mode was added to FIFA, back in FIFA 18.
FIFA World Cup Live would be an all-new mode coming to FIFA 23.
Fans are speculating that this will be a mode where players play in online matches using their favourite team.
Players’ scores will then go towards their team creating the game’s own World Cup leader board.
A similar mode has been used in FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) before, so it wouldn’t be that unusual if something similar is added to the upcoming World Cup mode.
We’ll find out more when FIFA 23’s World Cup mode officially launches in time for the real world event on November 20.
