FIFA 23's release date rumors have started becoming official. Reports say the game will launch around September 30, 2022, in late September, for Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. EA Play subscribers will be able to buy the game a week early. EA hasn't made an official announcement, but if the information is confirmed, it means very little time is left until we get our hands on the game. With the game so close, we also want to talk a bit about FIFA 23 HyperMotion technology. What is FIFA 23 HyperMotion? What's new with FIFA 23 HyperMotion?

What Is FIFA 23 HyperMotion?

HyperMotion was first introduced in the next-gen versions of FIFA 22. It's known as a technology that captures players' movements and behaviors in-game. So we can say this new technology is an AI-driven technology. The feature delivers more realistic player animations and team positioning. According to developer EA, the 8 main features this technology brings to the game are as follows:

Advanced 11v11 match capture
Machine learning
Full team authentic movement
Tactical AI in attack and defense
ML - Flow (machine learning)
Kinetic aerial battles

What's New With FIFA 23 HyperMotion?

@DonkTrading, one of the well-known sources for FIFA leaks, announced in a Twitter post that HyperMotion technology will change a bit in FIFA 23, but that even this small change could make a serious difference in the game. According to the Twitter post, the following new features will be added to HyperMotion technology in FIFA 23:

Tracking teams will no longer be used.
Stadium cameras will now be used.
Real footballers will be used in real football matches.
This technology will make the game more realistic than ever.

So this technology will be significantly improved in FIFA 23, with player movements now reflecting real-life professionals, which will contribute to the realism of the animations. Players will now be able to deliver a better and more realistic experience on the pitch. Of course, we don't think the improvements and new features in FIFA 23 will be limited to just these, so let's see what else we'll get.
