Fans hoping for a carbon-copy experience of the PS5 and Xbox versions may need to FC 26 Coins lower their expectations slightly. However, there's optimism that these won't simply be "Legacy Editions" either.

Legacy Editions: A Troubled Past

Nintendo fans have reasons to be cautious. In past years, EA's approach to Switch games—particularly FIFA—was heavily criticized. "Legacy Edition" releases offered little more than updated rosters and minor tweaks, with no real innovation or improvement year over year. For full price, players got very little new content.

EA's statement about building experiences "specifically" for the Switch 2 suggests the company is trying to avoid that perception this time around. This is reinforced by the fact that EA Sports FC 25 on the Switch last year showed more ambition, featuring some meaningful updates rather than being a pure roster refresh.

Still, it's clear that EA is being cautious with its messaging, possibly to avoid backlash if the Switch 2 versions do end up being lighter than fans hope.

Crossplay: Still a Mystery

Crossplay has become a crucial feature in modern sports games, allowing players across platforms to compete together. However, when asked if Switch 2 versions of EA Sports FC and Madden NFL would support crossplay, EA was noncommittal, saying that they would "share more at a later date."

Crossplay could be a major selling point if it's supported. It would allow Switch 2 players to be part of the broader gaming community instead of being isolated to cheap FIFA 26 Coins just their platform's smaller player base. But until EA confirms this feature, it remains an open question.
