UK news: ‘I've made over £150,000 playing FIFA 23 on PS5 in my bedroom’
A man says he is living every young lad’s dream after earning up to £50,000 a year by playing FIFA in his bedroom for eight hours a day. Alex Shaw, 24, first became hooked on the hit EA Sports football game when he bought FIFA 12 for his PlayStation 2 aged 13.
Alex, of Quarndon, Derbyshire, said: “I think if my 13 or 14-year-old self could see what I do now and what I had achieved they would be amazed. It is definitely something I know I will look back on when I’m older and be proud of and young lads are definitely jealous of what I do for a living. “If you don’t, you start to become a robot and your gaming rhythms whilst playing aren’t as good. Despite playing for hours a day, I still have a good social life outside of the game and see my friends a lot. My career is also very sociable as I’m always talking to and playing people online.”
For the first four years of his career Alex also represented eSports team Hashtag United and is now playing for Horizon Union who he signed for last September. Alex always selects FUT mode during tournaments as he says it allows him to add the best players to his team.
