EA Sports Brings Madden and FC to Switch 2 with Tailored Approach

In a statement released alongside today’s announcement, EA confirmed that Madden NFL and EA Sports FC will be coming to FC 26 Coins the Nintendo Switch 2. While the move excited fans, the company’s wording left room for interpretation. These games are being developed specifically for the new hardware, but EA was careful to add: “as much as the hardware allows.”

Whether that means visual or feature parity remains uncertain. Crossplay support is also unclear, with more details promised “at a later date.” EA has traditionally released weaker “Legacy Editions” on Switch, but with the improvements seen in FC 25 last year, there’s hope the Switch 2 titles will be more aligned with the franchise’s vision on more powerful platforms.

EA Sports Teases Switch 2 Integration for Madden and FC Titles

EA’s recent announcement that Madden NFL and EA Sports FC are heading to the Nintendo Switch 2 has stirred cautious excitement. These titles are being built “specifically for the new handheld platform,” EA says, yet the degree to which they’ll mirror the PS5 and Xbox versions is still unclear.

Historically, Nintendo platforms have received stripped-back editions of EA Sports titles, most recently with the “Legacy” branding. EA claims that delivering a consistent experience is a goal, but also admitted the final product depends heavily on what the Switch 2 hardware can support. Until more details are released, fans are left guessing how close these ports will come to FIFA 26 Coins the full console experience.
