On the Nintendo Switch, "Legacy Edition" is a specific designation. It means that the game features the same gameplay mechanics, engine, and modes as the previous year's version (and several years before that) but includes updated kits, clubs, and rosters from the top leagues around the world.
In the community, a "verified" tag usually means the file hash (MD5/SHA256) matches the official release, ensuring the file isn't corrupted and is safe to use on your hardware. Key Features of FIFA 23 on Switch
