EA Sports FIFA: the Nintendo Switch to get a “custom built” version

Yesterday, during the Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017, Electronic Arts announced that EA Sports FIFA would get a Nintendo Switch version. But that version wasn’t shown, so we have no idea what it looks like, or how it plays. Will it be the same as the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One versions (with the exception of graphics, obviously)? The answer is no.

During the presentation, Patrick Söderlund from EA explained that EA Sports FIFA on the Nintendo Switch would provide a “FIFA experience custom built for Nintendo Switch…so you can play anywhere, play with anyone, and play how you want to play.”

What that means, however, is something we will have to wait before finding out… In the mean time, here’s the full recording of Patrick Söderlund’s speech, filled with passion and love:

It’s a huge honor and privilege to be here today representing the passionate and talented team at Electronic Arts. For me, to be on this stage is like a dream come true. For as long as I’ve played games, I’ve been a massive fan of the Nintendo platforms and amazing culture of creativity…so much so that when my first son was born, my wife and I gave him the middle name Luigi!

So today, we’re extremely excited to announce that the world’s most popular sports game will be coming to Nintendo Switch later this year.

EA SPORTS FIFA on Nintendo Switch will be the most immersive, social, and authentic sports game ever created for Nintendo players.

It will deliver the FIFA experience custom built for Nintendo Switch…so you can play anywhere, play with anyone, and play how you want to play.

If you’re at the park, at your friend’s house, or on vacation, you can always stay connected to the biggest matches. You’ll be able to get on the pitch with your favorite players and teams from the world’s best leagues in iconic stadiums from around the world…all with the unmatched authenticity and depth that FIFA is known for.

We’ll have much more to say and show in the coming months as we bring the world’s game to Nintendo Switch in 2017.

EA Sports FIFA (Switch) will most likely be released this Fall. The Upcoming Releases page has been updated!
