Is FIFA 23 down? EA server status explained as thousands of users face issues

Gamers are starting the week a little confused as thousands are currently experiencing problems accessing EA servers. This has brought a halt to the developer's many popular games, including FIFA 23, Battlefield, F1 and many more.

According to Down Detector, users first started reporting issues as early as 5.33am on Tuesday (27 June) and continued further along into the morning. It adds that 74% of people are suffering problems connecting to servers, 15% with the gameplay on EA titles and 11% with the website.

It is understood that the reason behind the downtime is because EA servers are down for maintenance. Everything got back to normal at around 8am UK time, but now users are experiencing even further connectivity problems just hours later.

At around 2.29pm, there was a surge in reports of users being unable to log-in, connect to the EA servers and being disconnected from in-game services like FIFA 23's Ultimate Team, Battlefield's online multiplayer among others.

The problems are affecting users accessing EA servers on all platforms. This includes PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo and PC.

Rushing to social media to react to the server problems, one user posted on Twitter: "When you sit down to play a couple of games on #FIFA23 and the EA servers are down," while another complained: "A servers down for the first time im playing in 2 weeks."

National World has reached out to EA to comment on the issues that gamers are experiencing, as well as the reason behind the maintenance. We are awaiting a response and this article will be updated as and when more information is confirmed.
