NHL on Nintendo Switch and/or PC

Hey guys,

why doesn't the new NHL also come out on Nintendo Switch or PC again? I have two kids, they both have Switch and we also have a couple of PCs. We all love ice hockey and would like to play NHL on our PCs and handhelds.

If FC24 is coming out on Switch, why not the NHL? Nintendo Switch is a very popular platform. According to available information, around 130 million units were sold. Nintendo consoles are more popular than ever before. Mainly, Nintendo is the most suitable console for small children and it is also handheld.

Currently Nintendo is preparing a new version of Switch 2 with a new CPU and GPU with support for DLSS 2 and Ray tracing. This will remove HW limitations. Switch 2 is released in the middle of 2024. I believe in the success of NHL 25 on the Switch platform.

Possibly also on PC. PC is in every home and office. Even Playstation exclusives are already released on PC. I would also really like to have NHL in my steam library for boring work days.

Please think about it. I alone will have to buy three copies. 🙂

Thank you.

Best regards.

    As for the Switch I'd assume the same applies and I'd say most of those Switch sales are from non hockey markets.  They sadly don't magically get extra resources to do these types of projects because they don't sell enough on 4 consoles already to get more investment.

    Companies just don't care about releasing the game on as many platforms anymore because it's not really about what the customer base wants. They would definitely make a profit by making the game available on PC but it wouldn't be ENOUGH of a profit for them. They don't want to make money, they want to make money hand over fist.

    Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to lock this thread as it's already been discussed thoroughly here and in every other PC thread for multiple years now.
