NHL 25 for PC
How can someone make a request to EA to put the NHL franchise on PC (ie. NHL 25)? Does anyone know where or how to make contact with them?

Community ManagerHi there, @IC0NWAR
I can assure that we're very aware of the requests for a PC version. Thanks for the feedback on this.
It's one thing to be aware of it, another to ignore it, but is EA going to do anything about it?

We haven't announced which platforms future games are going to be on yet. We'll have to wait and see if PC is included.

When we announce a new game, we normally include the supported platforms.
Honestly, the fact the a next gen game isnt on the biggest platform/gaming service which is now pc. everyone I know has switched over and i hate to bash EA but you guys put nhl 2009 on pc and yes it did not go well but thats because pc wasnt as big as they are now, ya'll need to start moving with the economy and grow a pair to make NHL come back to pc because as much as I want to play it. it doesnt benefit me or anyone else to buy a console for one single game. im tired of getting every other EA game on PC beside NHL which is one of your most popular sport games and the one everyone makes youtube videos and stream which guess what, most are on PC already!!
Hello,
I'm semi-retired and I still work with business development in technology so I have some grasp on costs versus return on investment.
I'm a sports gamer when i have free time and I subscribed to Xbox game pass ultimate cloud gaming so I could play MLB the Show on my pc.
Two things:
1) MLB thought it was worth putting on xbox cloud gaming.
2) Wouldn't the business stratgey of what MLB is doing apply to EA and NHL Hockey?
It might actually peak some interest and maybe indirectly help generate sales......mmmmm...maybe not right away but in the long term. Maybe worth an EA internal discussion.
Food for thought perhaps. Might also be a good PR advertising move...
Have a great day.
@jack805tdWhen does **EA** advertise this series? Where do you see EA NHL ads besides NHL broadcasts? The only ads I see in-game are for packs & battlepass
Correct....
please... i miss this game so much but i haven't owned a console in 5 years
Why if all nhl player whant dg connected back ea not bringing back and also can u explain why the cpu player in chel world arw always stupid and look like pee wee player if ea say the have worked on the AI in gqme
- @EA_Aljo I would also like to submit a request for NHL on PC. Thanks!
- @EA_Aljo I have bought the last 2 XBOX consoles ONLY for NHL. I can promise that I will not be buying another console in this lifetime so hopefully it goes to PC before then. Id dare suspect a lot of people are in the same boat.
Both EA games that I'm interested in are not on PC lol. NHL and College Football. It's mine boggling college football isn't because madden has been forever now.
I still play NHL 2007 on my PSP. It's great. I don't know why PC is being left out?
@kezz123 Absolutely, I was a yearly NHL buyer from 1999-2018. Then I decided not to buy the new console generation and was tired of paying for Xbox live for one game only. I will not spend another cent on any EA product until NHL is on PC. I've vowed this and delivered on it since 2018. Every year I come back looking and hoping that it will be the year I can enjoy virtual hockey again, sadly I think I'll have to keep waiting.
Just have to keep playing Super Blood Hockey.
i pray for a pc version, im still on nhl 2009 it was the last time you love pc gamer.
NO NHL 25 FOR PC so you do not know how many request there are remember EA a lot of people don't use this website i don't understand FC25 on pc Madden 25 on pc and now NBA2k25 is now next gen on pc just put one new NHL game either NHL 25 or 26 so see if it goes well if it doesn't then don't make another one personally i know NHL on PC would sell. Remember EA a lot of people don't want to buy a console after spending $1000+ on a pc
Don't expect NHL to ever be on PC until consoles start disappearing, which I hear the Xbox might be doing in the distant future. You are crazy to think it is worth it to put the game on PC. It is not worth the amount of resources they would have to dedicate to porting it over and maintaining its upkeep. The sad truth is that a sports games' player base are directly tied into its fanbase. FC is able to do it on PC because it is the world (moreso Euros) that all love the sport of Soccer/Futbol. Madden did it in 2021 and it had a peak player base of 3k players which who knows how many got it for PC instead of their console because it was available? The NFL has nearly 18m average viewers per game. Now lets take the NHLs number of 500 thousand average viewers which is 1/36th of the NFLs. what is 1/36 of 3000? Even if there was, lets say hypothetically 3000 peak players on PC... how many of those would be new players vs the players that already play the game on their console and have switched just because they have a PC (I would be one!)? The fact is you will not get enough *new players* to play the game based on these statistics so it is not worth it for EA to spend those resources to make it available on PC.
That's not even going into what it would mean for the current playerbase who would have to watch EA sacrifice a year, similar to what happened in NHL 23 with PS/Xbox crossplay implementation, in order to port the game over to the PC. So that would mean no real changes to the game again, in order to grab a piece of that maybe 1-2k peak players?
It's not personal, it's just business and that business probably tells them that the number of sales they would get would not be worth the time and money and sacrifice spent.... sorry.
- @hiperay porting barely cost anything. 50k sales would pay for the porting easily. Sony spend 2mil on porting to PC. You can do it for even less. So it's not about the cost and maintance. It's something else, EA is refusing free money. Currently NHL series is dying and will end up just like NBA live if they won't put it on PC. PC is the biggest market and most of the money is there. No PC port means lower revenues, and for niche games it means the end of the franchise. If even NFL which is the least popular sport sells 200k then NHL would sell at least that much.
Can you please add it to pc and answer blind badard aka Joe for a suer and hit TikTok is jackedblindguy2.0 he is the goat tell him if you do tell him that stevenh🏈 sent y’all
Here's some feed back.
There are people like me who love Hockey, and live with a laptop cause of living conditions, like many others.
We don't have a console with a big screen TV, so for us to access the game we would be in need of a PC version of the game.
So let the company know, it's not always about maximizing your dollar return, sometimes you just have to make the game accessible so the most amount of people can access the game.
Thank you.
