The World’s Game Update, due out May 28, lets players lead a nation in a new 48-team international tournament mode starting June 4. EA Sports doesn’t have the official license for the FIFA World Cup itself (EA Sports’ FIFA series switched to EA Sports FC for the 2023 entry), but the new update features 53 fully licensed and playable national teams, 41 of which are competing in the actual World Cup.

Fully licensed and playable national teams include Brazil, England, France, Cabo Verde, and Uzbekistan. New stadiums include Gillette Stadium and BMO Field, alongside Central Maw, “a new stadium built to capture the atmosphere of top-tier international football.”

The slideshow below includes two exclusive images, revealing the Mexico and Morocco national teams as they appear in The World’s Game update. Other images included show Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal, Virgil van Dijk's Holland, and the United States national team.

EA Sports said the World’s Game features two non-licensed teams with authentic players (Egypt, Japan), and five non-licensed generic squads (Algeria, Curaçao, Iran, Iraq, Jordan). “National team inclusion depends on our ability to secure licensing rights directly and comply with applicable laws and regulations, including U.S. sanctions, which may limit our ability to partner with certain federations,” EA Sports explained.
