FIFA 18 Switch version will be downgraded
Matthew Byrd Jun 7, 2017
Nintendo FIFA fans will have to do without the game's Frostbite engine, story mode, and more.
While some suspected that Nintendo Switch version of multi-platform games may feature some modifications, the extent of the changes found in the Switch version of FIFA 18 borders on content butchery.
The latest trailer for FIFA 18 includes a line of text that states: "Frostbite game engine technology and The Journey: Hunter Returns mode are available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC platform versions only. Not all features available on all platforms."
While the news that the Switch version of FIFA 18 will not run on EA's high-end Frostbite Engine isn't too shocking, the implication that the Switch version of the game will not feature FIFA's legendary story mode is a bit unexpected. That mode was one of the things that helped propel FIFA 17 over many of its predecessors. Its absence would be a huge blow.
