Ditching Fifa - a Gamechanger?
It's the biggest selling game series in the UK over the past 30 years - but what happens when it changes its name?
For more than three decades, Fifa has been as synonymous with video gaming as it has real-life football. But that all changes in 2023, as the football simulator game produced by Electronic Arts becomes EA Sports FC. The series name had been licensed from football's world governing body, FIFA, but there was a reported disagreement over the cost of keeping the name attached to the series. In this episode of 5 Minutes On, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Gaming Correspondent Steffan Powell finds out what's changed, what stays the same and what experts think about EA's big gamble over its Β£1.6bn video game franchise.
