EA is reviving the college football video game series, and legions of gaming and sports fans are eagerly awaiting College Football 25 to drop. As we get closer to the game's release, some wonder if it will be available on the Nintendo Switch. This piece explores the presence or lack thereof of NCAA 25 on certain consoles, its potential release status and features, and what it can suggest for the platform.
Release Mode & Availability
College Football 25 will release on July 19, 2024, on Xbox Series X|S/PS5. That being said, it has been confirmed that the game will not be on Nintendo Switch or PC when it launches. Like previous years of major updates to next-gen console exclusivity, older-gen consoles won't see this release other than last year.
Switch Gameplay and Features Key
While the game is missing on Nintendo Switch, it is extremely important to discuss what features and gameplay elements Switch owners can look forward to in NCAA 25 if released. With the Switch's hardware less capable than the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, adaptations to Switch in terms of graphics intensity/performance might need to be made for a smooth/portable experience on Nintendo's console. Also, the Switch-specific features like Joy-Cons and handheld mode could bring something different to gameplay than other platforms.
Reasons for Absence on Switch, Potential Future Release
The absence of the NCAA 25 game for Nintendo Switch can be explained by several reasons, including technical limitations, developer's focus on the more powerful consoles, and licensing agreements. Nevertheless, the game originally proved successful on more powerful next-gen platforms, and its developers are interested in porting the game to the Switch. In that case, the likelihood of NCAA 25 appearing on this platform will depend on its fans and developers' plans. The reason is that a large number of players use the Switch, which makes this console attractive for developers. Therefore, if the game performs sufficiently well on the initial platforms, the developer will consider expanding its availability.
So, while it's unclear exactly when we might see the game on Switch, that college football gaming experience will come to a console for which many gamers are excited. With the gaming world expanding, its release on an NCAA 25 switch is just another bonus of having such a diverse system with lots to offer for sports game fanatics.
