Huge news has been released that EA FC 24 will be available on Nintendo Switch as a new game.
Since FIFA 19 to FIFA 23, the game has been updated FIFA to FIFA with a real lack of changes being made. Many of the top additions from FIFA's were missed out in the latest updates of FIFA, meaning Nintendo Switch players would lose out on new game mechanics and features.
In a recent interview with IGN, it was revealed that for the new title of EA FC 24 Nintendo Switch fans will have a new game with many new features and game mechanics finally on Nintendo.
Nintendo Switch FC 24 features
EA Sports has lauded the Nintendo Switch edition of FC 24 as a 'significant accomplishment.'
Unlike previous years where FIFA 19 was rebranded as a "legacy" version, FC 24 on Nintendo Switch boasts a groundbreaking change by running on the Frostbite Engine, a first for EA's football franchise.
Nintendo Switch players can now enjoy an expanded Ultimate Team mode that rivals the offerings available in other versions of the game. In the past, the Ultimate Team mode in the Nintendo Switch version of FIFA was notably limited.
According to John Shepherd, VP and Executive Producer at Electronic Arts, FC 24 on Nintendo Switch is "comparable" to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions regarding common features.
EA FC 24 Nintendo Switch gameplay:
While there may be some differences due to hardware constraints, the gameplay experience aligns closely with the PS4 and Xbox One versions, rather than the latest-gen gameplay on PlayStation 5.
The development process spanned multiple years, requiring collaborative efforts not only within the FC team but across various departments at EA. The support from EA's Frostbite team played a pivotal role in ensuring the game runs smoothly on the Nintendo Switch, making it a remarkable achievement for the team.
Crossplay on Nintendo Switch
Despite the notable improvements, it's worth noting that FC 24 on Nintendo Switch is not included in the game's crossplay.
Players on PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC versions can engage in cross-platform play, while PS4 and Xbox One versions also have this capability.
