The announcement of EA's Switch 2 plans raises questions about the game versions. While past FIFA releases on Nintendo Switch have been "legacy" versions, the recent focus on feature parity for EA Sports FC suggests future titles may offer a more comparable experience to other platforms. The Switch 2's increased power could enable a closer match to the PlayStation, Xbox, and PC versions of EA Sports FC 26.

The Switch 2's game lineup is gradually taking shape. Numerous third-party titles are rumored, including Civilization 7 (with Firaxis expressing interest in the reported Joy-Con mouse mode), several Nacon published titles, and the highly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong. Nintendo itself is developing a new Mario Kart, with further details expected at a Nintendo Direct in April.
