This year, FIFA 22 is being released again in a stripped-down version for the Nintendo Switch. What compromises there are can be found here.
FIFA 22 will be released on October 1 for numerous platforms in different versions and with various contents. The versions for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, and Google Stadia receive graphical updates and most of the new features, such as the new HyperMotion technology, which aims to provide more realism on the virtual pitch.
However, the editions for last-gen consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, as well as the PC, must do without HyperMotion, but otherwise receive several new improvements, such as the enhanced goalkeepers, new tactics, and the other gameplay improvements.
The only version that has not received any new content for 3 years is the Nintendo Switch version of FIFA 22, which is also known as “FIFA 22 Legacy Edition.”
We explain what compromises must be made with this version.
What FIFA 22 offers for the Nintendo Switch
This is new in FIFA 22 for Nintendo Switch: The only new content for the Switch version of FIFA 22 are new stadiums, as well as the updated rosters and jerseys for the new 2021/22 season. Players will run in the new, updated jerseys, and the teams’ rosters and player ratings have also been adjusted to be on par with the FIFA versions of other platforms.
What does not change: By now, the Switch version of FIFA has been a legacy version without major updates for the third time. This means that with FIFA 22 for Nintendo Switch, you are essentially playing FIFA 19 in terms of gameplay and modes – just with new jerseys and rosters.
But at least EA has reduced the price. FIFA 22 Legacy Edition for Nintendo Switch will no longer be a full-price title and will be available for €39.99.
