FIFA 22 patch 5 is coming soon, most likely early tomorrow morning. As usual, the patch will be available for PC users first, then released a few days (sometimes up to a week) later for console users. We will provide an update when it’s available on each platform.
UPDATE: (2-8) FIFA 22 patch 5 is available for all platforms.
Title Update #5 is bringing some changes to the outcomes of pass interceptions and blocks.

The update features a small change in gameplay. Check out the patch notes below.
- Increased the likelihood of a player retaining the ball after intercepting or blocking a Ground Pass.
- This change has no effect on how often Ground Passes are intercepted and blocked, it only impacts the outcome of interceptions and blocks.
The team just released patch 4 a couple of weeks ago, along with tuning update #3 focusing on goalkeepers. Make sure to check out our impressions here.
FIFA is one of the most patched console games out. Dating back to FIFA 15, EA steadily increased the number of title updates from seven to over 20 for FIFA 21. This year, we’re already on title update #4 with three title updates sprinkled in as well (this article will serve as my FIFA 22 Title Update 4 impressions). While fixing bugs are an obvious target of these updates, there are usually several gameplay changes that can alter gameplay, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse.
Even this year’s FIFA 22 plays differently than when it was released, which also varies from the beta versions given out way back when. Not all title updates are important, which is why I don’t cover all of them here on Operation Sports, but Title Update #4 appears to have some significant updates to both gameplay and career mode.
