After several years of not making a golf game, EA Sports is almost ready to release EA Sports PGA Tour,but not for every console. EA Sports PGA Tour will be the first golf entry for the publisher since Rory McIlroy PGA Tour in 2015. Initially slated for a release in April 2022, multiple delays have pushed back the game’s release until Spring 2023, with more details finally starting to come out.

Franchises like The Golf Club and PGA Tour 2K have been holding the fort since the most recent EA Sports entry, and many thought the newest game would be released on all consoles. However, EA Sports announced this week that the game would not be on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, or Xbox One. Though EA Sports didn’t give a specific reason as to why the game was delayed, the exclusion of previous generation consoles may answer that question
