Will FIFA 23 be available for the Nintendo Switch?

gamepur.com:

FIFA games have launched on the Nintendo Switch platforms for years. But over the past few titles, it has released under the “Legacy Edition” name. This term has traditionally been used by EA to refer to a game that is being released on an older platform and has next to no upgrades from its predecessors. This does beg an interesting question, especially with how sports games, and games in general, have handled the current and old-gen console balance: will FIFA 23 receive a version for the Nintendo Switch? It might seem like a silly question to some, but it really isn’t in this environment.

As of now, we do know the release date for FIFA 23, as well as platforms that the title will be released on come later this year. While EA failed to mention the Nintendo Switch in its early promotional content for FIFA 23, the platform will once again receive the Legacy Edition treatment. While it will have the updated club information, it will not have the same gameplay features that its counterparts have.

FIFA 23 will look a lot like FIFA 22 for the Nintendo Switch. However, it will be interesting to see how the title’s future will hold up going forward.

The Nintendo Switch is, by and large, an old-gen console and does not have the bells and whistles that the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X has. Based on precedent, it’s very fair to say at some point that developers, including EA, will at some point ditch making an old-gen version of each game, and instead opt to focus exclusively on the current generation.

Will EA Sports hit that point this year? It’s possible, but for reference, EA is still making a Madden 23 version for old-gen
