FIFA 23: Release date, Latest news, pricing, features, and more

0

With the FIFA World Cup starting in November 2022, many fans are expecting the release of the latest FIFA 2023 in order to get the most of the tournament by complementing the excitement of real games with an almost real experience of playing provided by the best technology available in videogames.

FIFA 2023 is expected to be out on 30th September 2022, which means that fans get a little more than a month to enjoy the game until the FIFA World Cup starts to complete the experience.

Furthermore, the release of FIFA 23 is not only special because it is quite close to the most important football competition in the world, but it is also unique because this will be the last FIFA game of the series.

FIFA 23: the end of an era

After 30 years of producing and releasing football-themed videogames under the name of the FIFA series, the American video game company Electronic Arts (EA) is ending its relationship with FIFA. As a consequence, FIFA 23 is the last football video game of the FIFA Series, marking an end to a whole culture in football video games.

The next releases from the Electronic Arts (EA) studios will be named EA Sports FC, while it is expected that FIFA will enter into a new partnership with a different video game developer in order to create the real FIFA video game.

The details on the FIFA series were crafted by fragster.com. To learn more about the new features and how they work, head over to the folks at Fragster for more details.

FIFA 23 new features

Aside from what we already mentioned, FIFA 23 is also special because it has some new features that are also marking a change in the football video games culture. 

Aside from the regular FIFA World Cup, the new FIFA 23 will allow players to play the Women’s World Cup. Also, women’s club teams will be available for the first time. This is a massive change toward women’s equality in sports. Thus, FIFA 23 will probably stay on the record for coming up with a game that engages gender equality.

Another relevant change is that FIFA 23 will allow crossplay in one versus one game. This means that players using different systems will be able to share a game.

Regarding technological upgrades introduced in FIFA 23, the game will include HyperMotion 2 which will create even more realistic players and contexts. 

A new feature on FIFA 2023 is Power Shots, which allows players to use all their power to release epic strikes. Even though you will have to work on accuracy when using Power Shots, if you get it right you will be able to create the most amazing goals. 

How to get FIFA 2023?

With fans already showing signs of anxiety, after the release date was confirmed, pre-orders became available.

Sites like Amazon or GAME allow customers to get pre-orders on the game. When placing the pre-order you will be able to choose the Standard Edition or the Ultimate Edition of the game. If you pick the Ultimate Edition, you will get early access to the game on 27 September. 

If you can’t wait for that much, you still have another chance to access the game earlier through the Closed Data that the company usually releases before the actual release of the game in order to get feedback from users and make the latest adjustments, if needed.

Even though there is still no official information about when the beta version will be released, it is expected to happen sometime in August. 

How much will FIFA 23 cost?

With a release date already confirmed and the pre-order process opened, the prices of FIFA 23 can now be easily established. The FIFA 23 Standard Edition price is approximately $59.99 in the United States, while the FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition costs $89.99.

As we said before, buying the Ultimate Edition will give you access to the game three days before the release date, which for many players means getting more chances to practice before other players can access the game.

How to fix Discord Freezing After Closing Valorant?

  1. Log on to your Discord account.
  2. Select User Settings from the bottom left corner near your Discord ID.

  5. Upon scrolling down, you would see the “Debug Logging” option which would be turned on by default. 
  6. Disable the Debug Logging option
  7. Discord will now restart for the changes to take effect.

This would solve the issue where Discord randomly freezes while you’re in-game.

Here is an alternative step for the League of Legends players who reported the application to freeze out upon closing the League of LegendClClient.

Note : This fix is exclusively for the League Of Legends players.

  1. Open your League client.
  2. Go to client settings on the top right corner.
  3. Get to the General Settings tab.

CSGO streamer trades in expensive skins for flashy $60,000 car

Buster, a popular player from Russia who competes in CS:GO, owns more pricey skins than is typical for someone in his position. He was able to trade them up into a shiny new BMW that cost $60,000, and he revealed the new car to millions of admirers on YouTube. 

CS:GO skins and stickers, in particular, can fetch a hefty price tag. If you can somehow translate the value from the virtual world to the real world, some of them are now worth upwards of six figures, and you may find yourself sitting on some substantial stacks.

It is well-known that you can trade up to inventories of this value. However, what about upgrading to something that is not currently available in the game? That is just what the Russian CS:GO prodigy did in order to acquire a sleek new BMW.

There was more to it than merely cashing out skins for the YouTube and Twitch stars — who have a combined following of more than 5 million people on both platforms. He obtained the BMW by engaging in a trade with another user on Steam.

He offered them a variety of skins with high value, including a Dragon Lore, a few rare stickers, and a Sapphire Karambit. It cost him $57,000, but at the end of the day, he had a BMW registered in his name.

FalleN to retire from CS:GO in 2023

Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo, winner of two Major championships, has announced that he intends to step away from competitive play of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive by the end of 2023.

This was discussed in the most recent episode of the popular esports-related podcast known as the “Monkey Business Show,” which is hosted by Johan “N0tail” Sundstein, the founder of OG, and Juan M.R. Luna (CEO of OG).

The legendary Brazilian player has actually discussed his retirement plans in the past, so this is not the first time that he has done so. “I want to play for maybe a year and a half, but that’s it,” he remarked at IEM Cologne 2022.

The 31-year-old did, however, go on to explain in detail what he hopes to do once he finishes fighting professionally, despite being torn between three different paths all related to esports or gaming.

The legendary CS:GO player FalleN of Brazil discusses his upcoming retirement.
FalleN, also referred to as the “Godfather of Brazilian CS,” was one of the first players from the region to not only win a CS:GO Major trophy, but also win two of them in a row. He is widely regarded as the “Godfather of Brazilian CS.”

Imperial Esports is presently competing as ‘Last Dance’, and he has been credited with making Brazil one of the world’s top contenders to watch.

Since the inception, it has been common knowledge that this will be the last effort that FalleN will put forth in competitive CS:GO. FalleN has devoted almost 18 years to the industry of esports, during which time he has had a significant impact on a great number of people and built up a sizable fan base.

During the podcast, FalleN discussed his retirement plan from CS:GO. He stated that while nothing was set in stone, he does have three viable avenues to pick from, all of which would keep him active in either esports or gaming.

The first was apparent, retiring as a player and becoming a coach, but the Brazilian reckons this would be little different. “There are moments when I get the urge to get into coaching and assist other teams in achieving success and winning games. But at the same time, it would be challenging because it’s kind of the same life that I live right now, where I don’t get to spend too much time at home. “

FalleN’s second option is to get into streaming and content creation because he enjoys making videos and also because he wants to spend more time at home. “I really enjoy streaming, I really enjoy coming up with material, and I really enjoy interacting with other people. Streaming is quite fantastic since it would allow me to stay at home, which is something that I think about, and it’s something that I look forward to.

The third approach, which is completely different but appealing to FalleN, is to develop and train the future generation of CS:GO players from Brazil.

Twitchcon 2022: Jidion Replies To Tommyinnit’s Claims That He Harassed Fans

0

Twitchcon 2022 had been quite fun for many with popular streamers appearing and fans having the chance to meet their favorite streamers IRL. While the event in Amsterdam ended earlier this month, the controversies surrounding Twitchcon have now started unfolding. 

While many fans were elated to meet their favorite streamers like Pokimane, some fans claimed that they had been harassed by former Twitch partner JiDion while waiting to meet TommyInnit.

TommyInnit is a popular British Minecraft streamer who recently called out JiDion in a recent livestream where he talked about the harassment that he and his fans had faced. While TommyInnit did not name any streamer while speaking about the incident, people were able to link the incident to JiDion. 

However, now, JiDion has replied to these claims, and his response has left many people questioning the whole incident. 

During his recent livestream, JiDion sat down with his fans to watch the video where TommyInnit spoke about the harassment incident and shared his take on the same. In his video, JiDion said:

“Nobody knows! That’s the beauty of this whole situation. Nobody knows what happened except for me and the so-called victims in the situation. That’s the beauty of this whole situation. Nobody knows what happened, but everybody has an opinion.”

JiDion also talked about the comments he made about female fans waiting in line to meet TommyInnit:

“Okay, I’ll address this one right here. Bro, any guy YouTuber will let you know having a female fanbase and male fanbase is literally kind of like unheard of. That’s what takes you into the upper echelon of YouTubers, right? TommyInnit had nothing but girls in his line and I literally said, ‘Wow, he has nothing but girls in his line,’ I said, ‘Good for you, Tommy,’ because bro, that is tough!”

Later he apologized for his comments and said:

 “You know what, my bad. It’s a weird comment. Bro, everybody in the chat saying ‘L Tommy,’ don’t say ‘L Tommy.’ I don’t want this to be a thing or it’s like my boys against his people. It’s not like that. He was just defending his fans, you know? I would do the same thing chat, so I don’t want to see no ‘L Tommy.

At last, JiDion claimed that TommyInnit saying that he reached out to JiDion on Twitter was not true and it was JiDion who had contacted TommyInnit via DM.

“All right, what I will say is, and if you reached out to me on Twitter, I haven’t seen anything on Twitter. He might have reached out to me on Twitter but obviously, I don’t have my Twitter but on Instagram and all my other social media, I have not gotten a message from Tommy. Tommy has not slid into my DMs, I slid into Tommy’s DMs but Tommy has not slid into my DMs.”

It isn’t the first time JiDion finds himself amid controversies. The 21-year-old had previously been banned from the streaming platform Twitch for harassing Pokimane and sending his fans to write “L+Ratio” on her chat. Since then, JiDion has apologized for the incident but hasn’t been unbanned from the platform as of yet. 

LilyPichu wants to fight Valkyrae in a charity boxing match

Power couple Lily “LilyPichu” Ki and Michael Reeves at last got to meet their Filipino fans at CONQuest Festival 2022.

Since Michael partook in the primary Creator Clash, a cause boxing occasion that highlighted battles between famous substance makers, many fans were interested to know who Lily might want to look in the ring.

LilyPichu needs to battle Valkyrae in the following Creator Clash

Lily said that Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofstetter, an individual LA-based YouTuber and co-proprietor of esports and way of life association 100 Thieves, could be the ideal boxing rival for her.

Their levels have been a running joke in their fanbases and companion gatherings. Rae’s new Japan video blog archived the two estimating themselves at the Pokemon Center, and figured out that they’re both around 160-162 centimeters tall.

“We’re the same height. We’re relatively the same age, build, and everything. She works out every day and I know, but I think that can be easily remedied,” she said.

The fantasy boxing matchup could really materialize. The occasion coordinators of Creator Clash previously inquired as to whether she needed to join, however the substance maker presently can’t seem to affirm because of conceivable booking clashes.

Twitch bans Valorant streamer PROD over ‘misheard’ homophobic slurs

Update: As of now PROD has been unbanned within 48 hours.

Popular Valorant streamer PROD has been suspended from Twitch over the use of homophobic slurs but in reality the weren’t anything close to that.

PROD is a player who skills are highly talked about in the Valorant community but for the first time he has found his name in the headlines for the wrong reasons. Twitch has banned him for an indefinite period for the use of homophobic slurs which the viewers think that was a wrongful suspension of his account as his words were misunderstood.

According to Jake Lucky, PROD was banned for saying “f*ck it” and then saying a homophobic slur which was inaudible in the best case.

Lucky highlighted that PROD was banned live and in YouTuber Sewers posted the clip of what PROD was banned for. PROD says ‘f**k it’ and then follows up with something that is inaudible, but Twitch detected that it was him using a slur.

CSGO’s Is A “Joke” As Compared To Valorant: Shroud

0

Professional Valorant player and Twitch streamer Micheal “shroud” Grzesiek has once again reignited the Valorant vs CSGO debate with a statement made during a recent livestream, and fans have already started taking sides.

Since the dawn of the release of Riot Games’ competitive shooter Valorant, whether or not it is superior to CSGO has continued to spark heated debates within the gaming community, and it doesn’t seem like they’re coming to a halt anytime soon.

While the ex-CSGO pro had previously claimed that Valorant is an overall easier game than CS, it isn’t the case this time around.

“CS looks like a joke compared to this game, I am telling you,” Shroud told fellow Valorant pro Tyson ‘TenZ’ Ngo during a recent game. “There’s no sugar coating. The game is just hard.”

However, Shroud also brought up the possibility that the game might feel hard simply because “everybody’s so good” due to the game’s low skill ceiling.

“Everyone’s so good because the game is arguably easier, maybe that’s why,” Shroud continued. 

The community stands divided on Shroud’s statements. While a portion of the player base seems to think that Valorant is hard due to Agent abilities and the randomness that the game brings, others mention that CSGO is inherently more difficult due to its high skill ceiling, better gunplay, and complex lineups for nades, flashes, or smokes.

There isn’t a conclusive answer to this debate, as both games are 5v5 competitive shooters that can be found to be challenging in their own way. But it’s certain that the Valorant vs CSGO debates aren’t going to stop in the foreseeable future.

The Future of Esports Innovations In The Age of NFTs

Next to cryptocurrencies, NFTs have also shaken the gambling world, especially regarding e-sports. And because so many people lost out on the chance to invest in crypto when it was new, they jumped on NFTs.

They were not willing to miss out twice, and FOMO (the fear of missing out) took the lead on many of the investment choices regarding NFTs. So, what is the relationship between NFTs and e-sports, and how has this impacted e-sports?

The Rise of E-Sports

E-sports have been a hit ever since it became possible for people to make money from gaming online. The premise is simple. Players learn how to play games exemplarily, go head-to-head as teams or players, and whoever wins the game racks up points. The popularity of the games eventually paved the way for e-sports tournaments which bettors could wager on in esports betting sites that have grown quite fast. Understanding how e-sports work is easy. But their relationship with NFTs? – That’s the tough part.

NFTs and E-Sports

NFTs, non-fungible tokens, are digital assets that have real-world value. That includes anything from a ticket to a concert to an image to an audio file – yes, NFTs are that varied! Some have even sold for millions! And people have been looking for ways to get their assets more value in the open market. Anyone with an NFT can sell or trade it, while those who don’t have one can buy one. But how can digital assets be sold for such high prices without someone creating a fake or a replica of the same things?

That’s where things get interesting. Each NFT has a unique token that is not easy to replicate. And that means that if you have one such asset, you can hold on to it or sell it later at a higher price point.

How Do NFTs Relate to E-Sports?

And now we get to the answer we have been heading to all this while. What exactly is the relationship between e-sports and NFTs? Interestingly, almost everything in online games can be an NFT. Remember that NFTs are digital assets. And that means that:

  • The game can be a digital asset. 
  • The characters can be digital assets. 
  • The powers or skills accorded to the characters can also be digital assets. 

You get the gist. But not all parts of the game can be monetized. It would help if you found those you can convert into tokens and sell in the digital market. For example, you can develop a character in the game and offer this as an NFT. The money acquired from the sale can then be used in the real world because it is a form of cryptocurrency.

Have NFTs Helped the E-Sports Industry?

NFTs have further pushed e-sports into the limelight. Previously, the easy way to make money from e-sports was to:

  • Provide a game,
  • Organize a gaming tournament,
  • Learn how to play a game and participate in the tournament, 
  • Blog/ vlog about gaming, 
  • Train people how to game, or
  • Bet on gaming.

And now? You can get a piece of the cake by focusing on NFTs. More people want to learn how they can convert games or their assets into NFTs to make money from the same. Some players and teams are now using this to increase their revenue streams. They sell the NFTs to their fans and other interested parties, so they still make money even when they are not actively competing in tournaments. Of course, before investing in these digital assets, you should take the time to learn how they work to ensure you turn a profit.
