Yesterday, we informed you about the PC version of Madden NFL 22 being based on the old-gen version. And, according to EA Sports, the development team is too focused on the next-gen consoles and cannot upgrade the PC version right now.
In short, the PC version is an afterthought and nothing more. EA claims that it’s exploring the possibility of bringing the next-gen version on PC. However, its development team is currently working primarily on the next-gen consoles.
As EA Sports told SportsGamersOnline:
“It’s something being explored for the future. We’re still early in the transition to next-gen and right now the team is focused on making the best, quality experience on new consoles before looking to upgrade other platforms.”
Now keep in mind that we’re talking about one of the biggest gaming publishers. So yeah, it’s a bit ironic that the team that is working on a franchise that can generate over $4 billion cannot invest some resources in order to port the next-gen version to PC.
So, in Madden NFL 22 the dev team cannot allocate enough resources to port the next-gen version to PC. In FIFA 21, the other EA Sports team does not want to raise the game’s PC requirements.
All in all, don’t expect to be playing next-gen sports games this year on PC. And yeah, I’m almost certain that the PC version of FIFA 22 will be also the old-gen version!

This is the same people that infects their products with DENUVO, love their “piracy” boogeyman but hate and blame it when sales are not as they wanted, is never the product being garbage at all.
Then DON’T SELL IT you fkn con-artists. Full price and premium editions for a roster update. People hate a lot of things about game publishers and how slimey they are, but this is one of the biggest scams I think I’ve ever seen in gaming.
Why would they stop selling if gamers keep buying?
This is Con Job nothing more.
If you buy this crap i feel sorry for you.
Feel sorry for them? You should be slapping them. They are the enablers of this kind of garbage.
They are too far gone to wake up.
They will still buy it doe!
“All in all, don’t expect to be playing next-gen sports games this year on PC.”
Why would you be playing these piles of worthless s**t on any platform? Why………..?
How do you port a game to the system it’s created on?
Sign a deal with the Microsoft of course. That is the part of the “port”.
Do you ask this question to every game that gets ported?
Context, Goebbels.
Yes, you didn’t contextualize your question, hence my question.
Ironically they use dev pc’s to develop for the consoles. Bottom line it’s clear to me that pc piracy continues to deter publishers from spending the resources for the smaller user base of legit buyers on pc. More irony, the pc pirates use the excuse of pc players being treated as 2nd class citizens to justify pirating the game in the first place, the vicious circle continues.
madden 21 is on gamepass with ea play, 22 will be there too. there is money.
but it’s not a fun game, you run for 5 seconds, get tackled then huddle up for 10 seconds.
I know it’s one of the reasons why I bought the pass. I was expecting EA would have no excuse and have 22 be full up next gen for pc. I don’t plan on renewing this pass because of this BS.
“Ironically they use dev pc’s to develop for the consoles.”
Because consoles where made to play games, not develop games, they just use PC as a tool, nothing more nothing less.
“Bottom line it’s clear to me”
So you didn’t present a argument and goes straight to the “bottom line”?
“pc pirates use the excuse of pc players being treated as 2nd class citizens to justify pirating the game in the first place”
Some are vocal and do, true. In my case i pirate because i can.
You clearly don’t get the point, the damn game already runs on a pc so there is very little focus needed to finish the product for pc. You would just need to finalize the product for pc. It’s not like they have to rewrite the code to make it work for pc.
You pirate because you can, how sad so you think you are somehow superior and don’t feel obligated to buy so let the other chumps support the product with their purchases. It’s pathetic pirating lovers like you that make companies not product pc versions.
Get off you damn horse and you ain’t special because you can pirate. BOTTOM LINE: You are the excuse for companies not to develop on pc.
” BOTTOM LINE: You are the excuse for companies not to develop on pc.”
Coudn’t care less, lmao.
Im assure you, no one gonna download pirated copy of this micro$ infested games
although they release the next gen on pc, it’s still a piece of crap. i’m not interested, even if it’s free..
This is EA………
at least they’re honest this time.
I think Madden didn’t sell at all on the PC, this is the main reason most of the time with AAA corporate overlords.
yet no nhl on pc
yeah like that blm stunt they pulled last summer.
at this point anyone who buys madden is retarded anyway..theyve sold the exact same game for what? 6 years? go buy the one from two years ago, its cheap, it looks the same…ea has become such sh#$ its not even fun to hate them…they just make me sad.
Who care about Madden on pc or not?
