Warmly loved by the people FIFA is out again. This time the football simulator was numbered 23. Fans will not be surprised by this. The series is regularly ahead of the real chronology. Unfortunately, this year is going to be difficult for all bench athletes. Officially FIFA 23 cannot be bought in Russia. But you should not despair. In this guide, we will analyze in detail all the available ways to buy a game on PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
How to buy FIFA 23 on PC
So if you are a lucky PC owner and not ready to surf the seas of content on a pirate ship, you will most likely run into the problem of buying FIFA 23. For several months, Russian players have been coming up with new ways, but today there are not so many working options.
The first thing you need is a foreign account on Steam or any other digital store. A foreign bank card is required for this. If you have somehow been able to formalize it, the ‘victory’ is still a long way off. We will have to find a way to top up the card with money. This can be done through foreign acquaintances, a few domestic banks or otherwise. In any case, this is not easy at all and requires additional study. At least contact the support of banks where you keep your savings in rubles.
In case the account on Steam or Origin is domestic, the process changes slightly. You have no choice but to purchase an activation code for the game from third party sites such as Plati.market. Beware of scammers and check the seller’s rating beforehand, as well as the ratings of other buyers.
Create a profile before buying the game Steam Open:
- Open “Profile Settings”;
- “Edit profile”;
- “Privacy”;
- “My profile”;
- Set it to “Open”.
Once you pay for the code, a bot will be added to your friends who will give the game. In case of origin the process is a bit simpler: just redeem the code in your profile.
How to buy FIFA 23 on PlayStation
PlayStation players have long been “foreign citizens”, but if you missed the countless instructions for buying new games for consoles but want to get around the store lock, there’s only one option.
Create a foreign profile. It is not difficult to do this through the official website. On third-party sites, they sell wallet replenishment cards in the US, Poland, and the UK. If your profile matches the country of the top-up card, you can deposit money in your wallet and buy one of the games you like.
Here it is immediately worth mentioning the problem of localization. Unfortunately, the PlayStation Store has very strict regional limits, which sometimes contradict logic and common sense. Russian voice acting or even subtitles may simply not be present in the US version of the game, even if the official localization has been around for many years in Russia and neighboring countries. For this reason, Turkish accounts with access to the associated store have gained popularity. It almost always has versions of games with Russian translation and the cost is much lower.
However, this rule doesn’t always work. For example the upcoming God of War: Ragnarok in Turkey will only receive Russian subtitles, while in Belarus or Ukraine dubbing will take place. There are quite a few enterprising citizens on the internet ready to help you replenish your wallet with lira, but beware of scammers. Please note that for the normal operation of the account, it must be registered in the appropriate email that does not end in “.ru”.
How to buy FIFA 23 on Xbox
You can change the region on Microsoft’s console, but the card of a foreign bank remains a problem. Resellers help you with maps for countries that don’t have their own Xbox store. Such users can buy in any store, for example, in Argentina. However, you can always negotiate the code of any country and buy it. The most important thing is to put the correct region on your console. In any case, the code must be activated and download the game, after which you can return the region. The website will help you with that.
How to buy FIFA 23 on disc
Representatives from PJSC M.Video have already officially confirmed that the network will be selling physical editions of the game. This is to be expected from other equipment retail chains. Unfortunately, the exact date is unknown, so all disc lovers will have to wait.
