Won't be coming to PC

With all due respect, given the EA NHL 23 forums most trending topic is the NHL PC thread, every EA social channel is flooded with messages asking for a PC port, and the EA NHL subreddit has daily posts asking when the PC version will come, I just don't understand how there isn't a perceived demand.

In every single place I see EA NHL being discussed, people are asking for a PC port.

Also - it's pretty easy to clarify some of the numbers for EA Sports games on PC, just reference steamcharts. Right now FIFA has 48,561 concurrent players. That is A LOT, that is within the top 30 most played games on Steam. Conversely, EA Sports PGA Tour only has 243 concurrent players. That is pretty low. Still, EA Sports saw value in bringing that game to the platform.

I have a hard time imagining NHL would draw lower numbers than that.

Here is a post from the NHL Reveal on r /hockey, the BIGGEST hockey subreddit.  As you can see, the upvotes asking for a PC version of the game are LARGER than the post itself.



Here is a collection of comments on EA's official release video for NHL 2024


Anyway, this pattern is evident if you look anywhere.  Twitter, Facebook, here, reddit, doesn't matter, people are asking for a PC port.
