The Most Authentic Football Gaming Experience, Powered by HyperMotion Technology

Powered by HyperMotion technology, FIFA 22 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Stadia combines Advanced 11v11 Match Capture and proprietary machine learning technology to deliver the most realistic, fluid, and responsive football experience, unlocking the raw emotion, passion, and physicality on the pitch. HyperMotion technology enabled the integration of the first-ever motion capture of 22 professional footballers playing at high intensity. EA’s proprietary machine learning algorithm learns from more than 8.7 million frames of advanced match capture, then writes new animations in real time to create organic football movement across a variety of interactions on the pitch. Whether it’s a shot, pass or cross, HyperMotion technology transforms how players move on and off the ball.

“HyperMotion technology will not only revolutionize the FIFA franchise, but it will also forever change the sports video game landscape,” said Nick Wlodyka, GM, EA SPORTS FIFA. “Our team has spent countless hours listening to community feedback and fine tuning gameplay to provide an innovative title that allows fans to tap into the raw emotion of the game like never before.”
