Big Ant Studios has announced that, after months of delays, AFL 23 will finally be available on Xbox platforms starting tomorrow. It’ll launch at 9AM (presumably AEST) and will also be available physically starting tomorrow if EB Games and JB Hi-Fi’s websites are anything to go by.
Big Ant also revealed it’ll have parity with the features currently available on other platforms and will include cross-play functionality, as well as offering a slight update on the status of the missing Pro Team feature.
The studio’s tweet reads, “AFL 23 Xbox shall be available 9am 22 September. It will be of parity to the other platforms and have cross-play enabled. We continue to work with players past and present on Pro Team and look forward to bringing the feature to AFL 23 at a later date.”

In our review of AFL 23 all the way back in May, we scored 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.”
