Saw this on HotUKdeals, possibly a pricing error. You need Fifa 21 or 22 installed on your console, doesn't matter if it's your own bought copy or the Gamepass version. You will also need to have an active Gamepass subscription which is $1 to join and also lets you download Fifa 21 or 22 if you don't already have a copy.

The following doesn't work for PC or Playstation.

On the homescreen of Fifa 21/22 you will see an advert on the right advertising Fifa 23 at 40% off. Click on the offer and choose the World Cup version which says is an add-on for Fifa 23 and requires the base game to play. Continue onto the payment page and you'll see that you are getting the full standard version of Fifa 23 that includes the World Cup update for $23.99 down from $119.95

The discounted Xbox One version is £2 cheaper than the Series X/S version in the UK, but I don't have an Xbox One to find out the exact NZ price, it probably works out around $3/$4 cheaper but for now I'm just using $23.99 for all versions.

  Giving this a go now, thanks OP. Will report back once I’ve gone through the process (Xbox One X owner here).

  Also, I scrolled the HUKD thread for this deal and found a bit of info which applied to me:

  “1. Delete FIFA 23 trial if you have it. Also delete the saved synced files on the xbox. You can find these in the "Manage game" section
  2. Download FIFA 22 from the Game Pass library.
  3. Before you start it, go to "manage game" and then delete the saved files on the xbox.
  4. Start FIFA 22 and then try to access the offer again.”

  Might save someone some potential wasted time if you’re trying to navigate trying this out too.

  Got it to work after a couple of failed attempts/error codes and a bit of faffing around.

  NZD$21.99 was what I was charged (Xbox One X).

  First off, before I could even see the offer, I had to reset my expired EA Play credentials/password (which took a good 10 minutes for the reset password email to land in my inbox).

  After logging in, immediately quit out of the game and THEN delete the saved files as mentioned in my prior post. I ended up doing this twice when once at the right time would probably have saved me the trouble.

  Before proceeding further yet, make sure that the Microsoft Store app isn’t sitting open/loaded in the background (here “Manage app —> Quit” will help). Apparently this has caused some people headaches with completing the process but it wasn’t open when I did my install. Better check first than potentially go through it twice I say.)

  Continue to follow the instructions as per OP, choosing the World Cup option. At this stage, if you’ve done it right, you should be brought to the checkout to complete the purchase.

  After that, you’ll need to go to/search in the Microsoft Store on your Xbox for FIFA 23 and go to the Standard Edition option. It’ll be displaying a purchase price (NZD$57.99 I think it said at the time of writing) but just ignore this for now and select it. When it loads, you should see “Already owned/You Own This” or somesuch, and from there you can select install. 42.74 GB later, and you should have yourself a fully installed game.

  It remains to be seen whether it actually works (it’s still downloading), never mind if it’s worth playing thereafter, but it was an oddly satisfying cheapie claim nonetheless.

  Hope this helps someone else out.

    This worked for me, but I had to save this to watchlist before seeing the install option after purchasing.

  Now free to play on steam for two days. Also, for anyone who wants it on PC, you can get a coupon for 25% off on epic games, bringing it down to $32.98.
  I see a lot of bad reviews on steam mentioning problems with the anti-cheat engine. Not sure if this is still an issue on steam, and epic doesn't have a proper review system, but any problems are probably no different there.

    Follow up - the first time I launched the game, everything was glitchy, restarted, and that fixed the problem. There is some lag (maybe half a second) when trying to select players to move in menus that's new from last year, and you have to go through two requests for admin rights now each time you launch. The gameplay felt good. However, I think I'll be holding off this year.
