For official, FIFA-branded video gaming, the source this year is Netflix. The sports league announced in December that the streaming service would host a &#8220;reimagined FIFA football simulation game&#8221; \u2014 and today Netflix shared that its take is called <em>FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition<\/em> and it will be available on June 11.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The game is free to anyone with a Netflix subscription. It uses smartphones to control players from all 48 teams participating in the 2026 World Cup. The &#8220;streamlined&#8221; take on a soccer sim can be played solo or with up to four people in multiplayer. Netflix said that the game &#8220;will evolve over time but gives the immediate rush of playing along during this historic World Cup event.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you favor the office over the pitch, there&#8217;s also licensed content for the tournament in <em>Football Manager 26<\/em>. That game rolled out its initial patch for the World Cup last month, and has another update slated for sometime in June before the real world matches begin.<\/p>\n<p>EA might have ended its licensing arrangement with FIFA, but that doesn&#8217;t mean its soccer sims are going to ignore the sport&#8217;s biggest tournament. Instead, the company is launching &#8220;The World&#8217;s Game update.&#8221; Totally different. The definitely-not-a-World-Cup tournament mode is available as a free update today for <em>EA Sports FC 26<\/em> and <em>EA Sports FC Mobile<\/em>. It includes 53 fully licensed teams, including 41 that are participating in the actual Cup this summer.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2187692\/netflix-will-release-its-fifa-world-cup-launch-edition-game-on-june-11\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EA Sports FC 26 also has a new international competition mode that is totally distinct. &#13;&#13;&#13; &#13; Netflix The World Cup tournament begins soon, so&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":58130,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[3192,258,6209,713],"class_list":["post-58129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-edition","tag-game","tag-june","tag-launch","wpcat-32-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=58129"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58129\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/58130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=58129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=58129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=58129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
