AFL 23 was originally delayed on both PlayStation and Xbox from April 13th until May 4th, and it eventually ended up releasing on PS5/PS4 on May 4th, with the Xbox version nowhere to be seen. It was then confirmed hat the Xbox version would release in mid-to-late June, but it’s now going to be a lot later.
It’s now been confirmed that the Xbox version will be shipped out to stores at the end of July/Early August which is still 6-8 weeks away and a huge chunk of the way through the AFL season.
In a statement on Twitter, Big Ant said: AFL 23 XBOX Announcement: “We will be distributing XBox disks to retailers at the end of July/Early August, as we approach that time we will have a more definitive date. We sincerely appreciate the support and patience of the Xbox community.”

In our review, we gave the game a 5/10 and said: “AFL 23 is inconsistent in its attempts to emulate the most complicated sport on the planet. It jags six points by delivering arguably the best gameplay we’ve had, but doesn’t make the distance in serving up a complete, robust package.”
