EA has announced a record-breaking opening day for FIFA Soccer 13. In its first 24 hours on sale, 353,000 copies of FIFA 13 were sold for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in North America, marking a 42% increase compared to FIFA 12. More than 1.4 million online games were played on the first day, 35% more than last year.
The iPhone version also saw big opening day numbers, marking “the biggest global launch-day performance of any iOS game on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in EA history.” FIFA sales were up 62% on iOS, becoming the number one top paid game in 55 countries on the App Store and the top-grossing game in 24 countries.
“We’re thrilled that fans throughout North America have embraced FIFA Soccer 13 in such a big way,” said EA Sports executive vice president Andrew Wilson. “North Americans appreciate a great-playing game and their level of engagement with our game is helping to drive the sport’s popularity in the United States.”
