EA Sports FC and Madden NFL Are Coming to Switch 2 – But What Can Players Really Expect?

Electronic Arts has confirmed that EA Sports FC and Madden NFL will be launching on the Nintendo Switch 2, expanding its sports franchise offerings to FC 26 Coins the upcoming handheld-console hybrid. However, as exciting as this announcement is, the details so far leave a lot open to interpretation. Fans are wondering: will these be full-scale entries comparable to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions, or will they feel like scaled-back adaptations?

Let’s dive into what EA has said—and what they haven’t—to get a better idea of what players should expect.

Official Announcement: A Cautious Enthusiasm

In a statement provided to Eurogamer, EA expressed their excitement:

    "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."

The company emphasized that both games are being "built specifically" for the Switch 2, suggesting that EA isn't simply porting over existing versions from other consoles. While that sounds promising, it also implies there may be platform-specific differences that impact features, visuals, or performance.

Parity With Other Consoles: Not Guaranteed

When asked whether the Switch 2 versions would match the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S releases in terms of features and visuals, EA was careful in its wording:

    "Our goal is always to deliver a consistent player experience across platforms as much as the hardware allows."

This statement hints that EA is aiming for a similar overall experience, but acknowledges that the Switch 2’s hardware limitations may prevent full parity. In other words, gameplay fundamentals should feel familiar, but certain high-end graphical effects, game modes, or other features could be trimmed or buy EAFC 26 Coins scaled back.
