If you’re trying to play FIFA 23 and you are encountering an issue stating that the ‘EA account servers unavailable,’ here’s what we would do to fix it.
Recently, we’ve seen the EA servers have taken a huge hit. It occurred on the same day that Twitter went down, resulting in the internet being well and truly stumped. While this was happening, FIFA 23 was unplayable, alongside other games including Apex Legends, Star Wars Battlefront, and Battlefield.
If you’re experiencing this issue regarding the EA account servers being unavailable – here’s what we would do to fix this.
If you’re an avid FIFA player, your EA account is central to all online play in-game. While career mode is a great game mode – sometimes you’re looking for a little more spice in your life. Playing online brings this excitement to the game, and having no multiplayer options can be really frustrating. Here’s how we would fix it:
- Check @EAFIFADirect on Twitter for updates on servers
- Restart console or PC
- Reset internet connection
- Change NAT type
Check EAFIFADirect for updates
On May 4th, FIFA 23 became unavailable for many gamers. We were first made aware of this through the above Twitter account.
If you are ever experiencing this issue, it will likely only be resolved by EA and there could be nothing for you to do. The simple solution is to wait.
Restart console of PC
The age-old trick never fails to procure results every so often. Hopefully now will be another one of those occurrences. It’s possible that FIFA is unavailable due to an issue with your own hardware, so restarting your device could potentially sort this out.
Reset Internet connection
Possible the most obvious fix, restarting your Internet connection could prove to be incredibly useful. It’s not a guaranteed fix, though.
Change NAT type
We would recommend following the above video on how to change NAT type, which can be broken down into a few simple steps.
