🎮 Do I need Netflix for this now? FIFA announces gaming comeback | OneFootball

For years, EA Sports and FIFA released a blockbuster hit in the gaming scene together. In 2023, they parted ways, with EA launching its own game from then on. FIFA, at least in the gaming world, remained quiet.

Today, the world football association announced its comeback in the video game industry. Together with Netflix Games and Delphi Interactive, they are starting a new era in football simulations.

Accordingly, the first release is set to come out by the summer of the 2026 World Cup. The as-yet-unnamed FIFA football game will be available via the Netflix app on iOS and Android devices.

The official announcement reveals a "reinterpreted FIFA football simulation game," but no further details were provided.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino refers to this as a key moment for FIFA's engagement in the gaming world.

The Netflix Games team has already added other major titles to its offerings in recent months, including WWE 2K and Grand Theft Auto. Netflix also recently made an agreement to purchase Warner Bros, further emphasizing its move into the gaming sector.

Delphi Interactive is a development studio from California, led by Casper Alexander Daugaard and former Zynga manager Andy Kleinman. The studio is also working in partnership with IO Interactive on the game "007: First Light." More information about this new FIFA football game is expected to be released in 2026.
