FIFA 23 was launched on September 30, 2022 and for many gamers, this is one of the biggest days of the year.

And it is something of a landmark game in the FIFA franchise as it is the last game that EA released under the present licensing agreement with world football's governing body.

Additionally, there is a dramatic shift in who is top of the player ratings.

For more than a decade, it has been a battle between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi for who has the highest rating in the game.

FIFA 23 does not have a single best player. Messi, though, is one of five players to have been awarded a rating of 91 along with cover star Kylian Mbappe, Robert Lewandowski, Karim Benzema and Kevin de Bruyne.

Cristiano Ronaldo, meanwhile, enjoyed a rating of 91 for FIFA 22 but sees his figure drop by one. Is he starting to decline having also seen his Man Utd contract rescinded in November 2022. Ronaldo joins Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Manuel Neuer and Thibaut Courtois on 90.

Here are the leading players in FIFA 23.
