Please bring NHL back to PC — it's long overdue

Hi EA Sports team,

With the NHL playoffs in full swing, I’ve been trying everything to get a decent hockey experience on PC — old titles, mods, emulators, and even Xbox Cloud Gaming via Game Pass. Unfortunately, none of it truly works well, and there’s still no official way to play NHL on PC in a way that feels modern, sharp, and satisfying.

I tried playing NHL 24 through Game Pass, but the image quality is heavily compressed and blurry, even on a wired high-speed connection. It’s not remotely close to the quality PC gamers expect. Buying a console just to play one game feels excessive — and honestly, not the most environmentally responsible choice either. PC gaming already has the hardware, the community, and even handhelds like Steam Deck ready for your game.

Please bring NHL back to PC. With FIFA (EA FC) and Madden now fully supported, NHL is the last major sports franchise missing. It’s time.

And hey — if you don’t make your money back, I promise to sell my house to cover development costs. Yes, I’m that confident there’s a market. 😉

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. We'll have to wait and see if NHL ever makes its way back to PC. Appreciate it!

    Thanks for the reply! We're honestly just relieved it wasn't the dreaded “we currently have no plans” line 😅 The PC hockey crowd is ready and waiting — just say the word and we’ll lace up!
