EA have increased the price of FIFA Points and blame ''global economic fluctuations'' and ''significant changes in currency valuation'' Seems a load of **** to me and i havent spotted on any socials, it's like they want to hide it....
FYI EA's fourth quarter and fiscal year, where the net revenue was $1.874 billion for the quarter and $7.426 billion for the fiscal year......
The EA site says
''As we continue to see global economic fluctuations, including significant changes in currency valuation, we’re working to balance prices of our live service content across all currencies globally.
Starting June 1, 2023 some regions on EA.com / EA App will see recommended retail price increases for FIFA Points for EA SPORTS FIFA 23, while others will experience price reductions when these updated prices go into effect. Please refer to your stores locally for more information on these changes.
We know you have choices with your entertainment experiences. For the many millions of you choosing to connect with each other, playing and creating and competing in our games, we are deeply appreciative and committed to delivering more amazing experiences for you in our live services and beyond.
Thank you for being part of our football community.''
According to the numbers by FUTBIN, the UK are seeing increases as much as 10%
We're not yet seeing an increase in the US but the likes of Australia have seen prices of points go from $120.00 AUD for 12000 points, to $150.00
Here are some current prices Was/Now format for UK and AUS.
Not looked into it properly yet but possible higher increases, in other regions :/
Looks like it's only PC and PlayStation users atm but maybe that'll change.
I will update further tomorrow, as heading offline but a heads up really!

sorted bySaved millions by not giving into Fifa's demands for the license and still put microtransaction prices up.
Pay to win is a terrible policy. (edited)
