EA is bringing a total of seven games to the Nintendo Switch over the next 12 months, the publisher revealed today.
During today's EA Play live event, EA made the announcement alongside the reveal of Apex Legends' upcoming fall release on the console, alongside plans for a simultaneous Steam release and implementation of crossplay.
And aside from Apex, Burnout Paradise: Remastered is planned for launch on the Switch tomorrow.
That leaves five unknown titles over the next 12 months. EA did not drop further hints, though the publisher has previously been asked by investors about the viability of The Sims 4 on Nintendo's console (https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2019-08-01-ea-our-players-choose-other-platforms-over-nintendo-switch).
At the time, CEO Andrew Wilson responded that EA has "a lot of data" showing that "a great many Switch owners also own a PlayStation 4 or an Xbox One or a PC, and very often choose to play the games that we make on those platforms even though they have a Switch and they enjoy a lot of great content on the Switch."
However, also in today's EA Play presentation, it was revealed that The Sims 4 is now out on Steam alongside A Way Out, Titanfall 2, Deadspace 3, Need for Speed: Payback, Need for Speed: Most Wanted.
