New Era for Handheld Players: Nintendo Switch 2 Support

This year’s FC 26 release may also mark the franchise’s long-awaited leap onto the Nintendo Switch 2. Unlike previous years where the Switch received legacy editions missing key features, the new console may support full Ultimate Team functionality, including Heroes. That means handheld players could, for the first time, enjoy a FUT experience on par with Xbox and PlayStation.

If confirmed, this would significantly broaden the game's audience and improve the portability and accessibility of competitive Ultimate Team play.
