EA Sports games on Switch 2 will aim for parity “as much as the hardware allows”

EA’s sports games have received quite a bit of criticism over the years, especially when it came to Switch versions of their titles – as unlike the current-gen releases Switch ports featured none of the advertised year-on-year tech enhancements. The Switch 2 is of course far more powerful than the OG system. Even so, EA has yet to confirm whether the announced versions of EA FC and Madden NFL for Switch 2 will include these expected enhancements.

In a statement provided to Eurogamer, EA representatives responded to queries on whether the announced Switch 2 versions of EA Sports FC26 and Madden NFL would be the full-blown versions, or instead the much more limited ‘Legacy Editions’.

According to EA: “We're excited to bring two of our most beloved franchises – EA SPORTS FC and Madden NFL – to Nintendo's Switch 2, giving fans even more ways to play the sports they love, anytime and anywhere.”

They continued, “Both experiences are being built specifically for the new handheld platform, grounded in what fans enjoy from our franchises across platforms,” adding that they will try to aim for feature parity “as much as the hardware allows.”

Given the fact that for years the PC versions of EA Sports FC failed to include any of the ‘next-gen’ tech, it does give cause for some pause when it comes to just how much EA will actually properly support the Switch 2. We will have to wait and see.
