Fifa 13 has become the fastest selling sports game of all time, racking up 4.5 million worldwide sales in just five days.
EA’s sporting masterpiece has been hailed as ‘the best and most realistic football game ever’ by critics, and fans seem to be in agreement. The game has been flying off the shelves – selling one million copies in just 36 hours – making it the biggest UK videogame launch of the year.
According to EA it’s not just sales that are going through the roof; Fifa’s creators said that on Sunday afternoon around 800,000 people were playing online – making it EA’s busiest gaming day in history. The company said this amounted to 66 million online game sessions already played, as Fifa fans set about taking their Ultimate Team to the top of the world rankings.
“Fifa 13 is the biggest and best sports game we have ever created”, said Andrew Wilson, executive vice president of EA Sports.
Fifa 13’s gameplay has received a few tweaks this year, pleasing fans across the globe. Features such as First Touch Control ensure that every match plays out differently, as player’s reactions change to match their environment.
There is also the edition of Match Day, which connects player form and availability to real world leagues; meaning a suspended John Terry will also be unavailable for the same period on the game.
