Like previous versions, NHL 26 will launch only on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This shows EA's focus towards current-gen performance and features, as NHL 25 also skipped last-generation consoles entirely.

Many fans were also wondering if the game would be available on PC. Unfortunately, that's not the case for NHL 26, and there is still no word on a PC port for future EA NHL games.

Even though several EA Sports titles like Madden and EA FC have made their way to PC, with others rumored ot make the jump soon, the EA NHL series remains console exclusive.

Will NHL 26 be released for Switch?

While the idea of NHL on Nintendo Switch is appealing to many players, NHL 26 won't be available on Nintendo's platform either. EA hasn't released any NHL title on the Switch to date, and this edition won't be the one to change that.

However, Madden has returned to Nintendo's console system, with Madden 26 being available for Nintendo Switch. Other EA Sports titles, such as FC 26, will also be available on the recently released Nintendo console. So there is a small chance a future EA NHL title makes it to Nintendo's platform.
