MMOexp FC 26: EA Embraces Nintendo’s New Platform
Until then, the onus is on EA to prove that “designed for the Switch 2” actually means something meaningful. With FC 26 Coins no gameplay trailers or side-by-side comparisons yet, skepticism remains warranted. But the departure from Legacy rhetoric alone has already shifted the conversation in a more hopeful direction.
More information is expected in the months leading up to the Switch 2’s official reveal. For now, fans can cautiously look forward to something beyond the bare minimum from EA Sports—though just how far that promise stretches depends on the hardware, and EA’s willingness to go the extra mile.
Switch 2 Versions of EA Sports FC and Madden NFL Aim High—Within Hardware Limits
EA Sports has set its sights on bringing EA Sports FC and Madden NFL to Nintendo’s next-generation handheld, the Switch 2. The publisher is framing the move as a major push to expand access to its flagship sports franchises—but it’s also being cautious, clarifying that these versions will aim for parity with other platforms only “as much as the hardware allows.”
EA Embraces Nintendo’s New Platform
In a statement provided to Eurogamer, EA expressed excitement about the opportunity: “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.”
That’s a major shift from the publisher’s previous approach to Nintendo consoles. On the original Switch, EA was known for releasing scaled-down “Legacy Editions” of FIFA, offering updated rosters but little else. Those versions were widely criticized for offering minimal changes year-over-year—often with cheap EAFC 26 Coins core modes stripped away.
