FIFA has officially unveiled the FIFA World Cup 2026: Launch Edition, a new football game that will be available exclusively on Netflix Games starting June 11, 2026, coinciding with the FIFA World Cup. This game will allow players to take control of any of the 48 national teams participating in the tournament and will feature matches across 16 official venues. According to FIFA's press release, the game will cater to players of varying skill levels, enabling them to select their preferred national team and engage in matches inspired by the World Cup. The gameplay will utilize smartphone-based controls, allowing players to scan a QR code to connect their mobile devices to compatible smart TVs. This innovative approach will enable players to pass, shoot, and control gameplay using their phones. Additionally, the game will support multiplayer functionality, accommodating up to four players competing in the same match. FIFA has indicated that this game will serve as a foundation for future enhancements and features in its gaming offerings, marking a significant shift in its digital engagement strategy after parting ways with EA Sports.
