NHL 25 for PC

The thoughts from social media say it won't be released on PC because of "hackers", but then EA releases all their other major sports titles and it's a non-issue there.

However, I would like to know what metrics EA themselves use on this. They seem to be aware of yearly requests but also have answered somewhere in these threads that there just isn't a market for PC. How do they know? 

The PC gaming scene since their last NHL release (15 years ago!!) is VASTLY different with the digital markets. Hell, they could even cut the cost by releasing it digital only for PC. 

They could try it for a year. if it doesn't work out? Then don't bother with it next year. But they aren't even willing to give PC market a chance.

EDIT: Worried about piracy? Throw in Denuvo. Worried about hackers eliminating HUT costs somehow? Look what 2k does (at least with WWE 2k's MyFaction mode, you can't access it with pirated copy).

As you pointed out, I don't think hacking is so much the issue as that hasn't been a problem with FC and Madden. 

Unfortunately, I don't have details on the research that has gone into bringing NHL to PC. That's just not something I'm involved in. However, you can be sure that if it were going to be worth the cost and resources needed to make it happen, it would be done. There is so much required that people don't realize. I've detailed that in the past as well. Hopefully, we'll see a PC release at some point though.

The only way you are getting an NHL video game on PC is with a different company who is solely focusing on an NHL PC game. Chances of that are extremely doubtful, there hasn't been another simulation NHL video game released that is anywhere near to the level of EA's game since NHL 2K10 and even then NHL 2K10 wasn't on the PC. There is a purely simulation NHL game where you never step foot on the ice but that is more like a front office type game and probably not what you are looking for. 

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

Why is there never a version for NHL on PC? I enjoy the game but I'm a PC player mainly, this game is the main reason why I have a PS5. Hopefully in the near future EA will come around.

Can you finally make nhl available on pc through platforms like steam.  This is extremely frustrating that you do not.

I travel for work and cannot take console with me.  I have played nhl since the early 90s and would love to play this on pc.

I know I am not the only one. 

Can you explain why you are not making the game available for pc?

I moved your post from the Star Wars forums to NHL. 

We don't have any news on a PC version. However, NHL 24 is playable through Xbox Cloud Gaming so that may be a good option for when you're traveling.

Thank you for moving the post.  I do not have Xbox so I am still unable to play.  It's just frustrating when you see golf, football, soccer and even boxing on pc but no NHL
