EA Says Madden and FC Might Find ‘Real Energy’ on Nintendo Switch 2

Author : Penelope Mar 17,2025

EA's sights are firmly set on the Nintendo Switch 2. During a recent financial call, CEO Andrew Wilson hinted at plans to bring many of EA's games to the new console. He specifically mentioned the highly profitable *Madden* and *EA SPORTS FC* franchises, suggesting they could see a significant boost on the Switch 2. *The Sims*, with its proven success and ability to attract new players to the EA ecosystem, was also highlighted as a strong candidate.

Wilson emphasized the potential for acquiring new players with the launch of a new console, referencing the strong performance of EA titles on previous Nintendo platforms. He stated that *EA SPORTS FC* and *Madden*, along with other titles, are expected to resonate well with Switch 2 players, mirroring their past success. The success of *The Sims* and *My Sims* on previous Nintendo consoles, which brought in 50% new players to EA, further underscores this expectation.

While concrete plans weren't revealed, Wilson's comments strongly suggest EA anticipates the Switch 2 will provide a significant opportunity to expand their reach and player base.

The news of *Madden* and *EA SPORTS FC* coming to the Switch 2 is unsurprising, but the specific versions remain a question. EA's history of releasing "legacy" versions of *FIFA* on the original Switch raises concerns. However, recent efforts towards feature parity in the rebranded *EA SPORTS FC* franchise suggest that the Switch 2's increased power might allow for a version closer to its PlayStation, Xbox, and PC counterparts. *EA SPORTS FC 26*, for example, could potentially offer a more comparable experience.

The Switch 2's game lineup is gradually taking shape. Rumors of numerous third-party titles abound, with Firaxis (developers of *Civilization 7*) expressing interest in the console's reported Joy-Con mouse mode. Nacon, a publisher of titles like *Greedfall 2*, *Test Drive Unlimited*, and *RoboCop: Rogue City*, has confirmed Switch 2 game development. The highly anticipated *Hollow Knight: Silksong* is also rumored for release on the platform. Nintendo itself is developing a new *Mario Kart* game, with more details expected at a Nintendo Direct in April.
