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?
Forum Discussion
It's one thing to be aware of it, another to ignore it, but is EA going to do anything about it?

Community ManagerWe 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.
- @EA_Aljo Just IMAGINE if we could mod the game and creates some sick templates for goalie helmets, just like in F1 games.
Wouldn't be crazy? Only possible on PC 😉 So now that it’s been announced that it once again isn’t on PC do you have any more information???? Will they come out and say “we’re never making it for PC because the player base is too small.”
Or are we gonna hear you say “We’ll have to see what platforms they announce.” Honestly I’m not even sure why you would comment this. We, the consumers, have been waiting and seeing every year. If you’re gonna patronize us with a comment like that don’t bother saying anything.
So again, we reiterate, is EA going to address the want for NHL on PC with either a yes or no? Because wait and see provides no information at all and is, which you someone claim otherwise, literally ignoring our questions.
- @LiterallyDorbo Sadly you will have to wait for the "We'll have to see what platforms they announce." They know there are people out there that would love the game on PC. Hell I myself am dying for the game to come to PC also. I would like to have some hope that with the PS4 and Xbox One no longer getting made that we could see it in the future.
But sadly each year we shall have to play the waiting game to find out.
Now that NHL25 has been announced with no PC port, can we get some transparency from EA on the discussion of a PC port for NHL26?
My concern is that NHL25 will be the least profitable game in the series due to excluding the last gen players and then that financial loss will be used as justification by EA that NHL games lack the player base to support a PC port; When, in reality, the amount of potential PC players waiting for NHL hockey on steam outnumbers the current console player base of NHL games.
How does EA track or calculate the potential gain/loss of the PC community and follow up question, how can that data be reliable without a single NHL PC port since the Steam era of gamming?
- @669da90c05730fe3 They aren't going to say it's a yes or no type thing. Also the PS5 Pro is supposedly launching before end of this year so it's 1 more console they have to support again and make sure it works properly on.
It isn't as simple as just porting over and ta da it works with everyone's setup. Even FIFA and Madden don't run perfectly for lots of people on PC. Heck one year I think if you used AMD cards on PC your FIFA was really messed up and didn't work for quite awhile. The amount of manpower to constantly maintain a PC version is probably a reason they don't go that route.
Also new consoles next-gen consoles are rumored for 2027/28 so they have to prepare slowly for those too, Which would then make it PS5,XS and the new consoles getting support again.
Well damn that’s useless
Could have just told us no from the beginning ☹️
- @JonBoyTV With EA, it’s safe to assume that for every 35 things we really ask for, or really want, we only get 1, every second or third year lol
I doubt PC will happen for quite a while, if it ever doesTbh, it will not happen in at least 5-10 more years. They even answered this post in march and said that they are aware that people want it.
And STILL its not happening, its so sad to see. Specially since NHL was my favourite game to play on console, but since i got PC 2020, i havent touched my xbox, im just sitting here year after year waiting to see if they actually will listen to PC players for once.
