Please Bring NHL Back to PC

Two great new franchises in the NHL with new fans to the game.  I'm one of them.  I don't own a console and I miss being able to play a current NHL licensed game on PC.

I really hope the next version of the game is ported to PC.

 

Pretty please?

    Hi there. Currently, NHL 25 is playable through cloud gaming with an Xbox Game Pass subscription. Hopefully, we'll see a true PC release at some point in the future.

    I agree.  My Xbox One runs this game slowly and lags.  For instance, going to Coach Feedback takes a couple seconds after pausing during a game.  The game also lags when a game is finished.  This probably due to the limits of a 12 year old console.  I don't plan on buying any more consoles...I'm out of the stupid console rat race.  $500 to $700 for a console, would be much better spent on PC upgrades.  Does this mean when my Xbox eventually dies, I can't play NHL?

    EA, I play your golf game on PC, why not NHL?  This is ridiculous. 

  • I hope they do, and soon. Locking the NHL games to console really doesn't make a lot of sense, and with the ability to have cross-plat matchmaking, they only gain to have more players widely available when playing online, which the lack of players can be extremely frustrating currently on console.

    i saw a post a long time back taking about how its too much time and effort to port the games to PC for what they think is a small market. i know several people who would 100% buy NHL games annually if they released on PC. EA needs to rethink making sports games for consoles only. CFB25 is also released for console only,y and I would have bought the game if it were on pc
