The announcement fuels speculation about the versions of Madden and EA SPORTS FC that will launch on the Switch 2. Past releases have been "legacy" versions, but with the Switch 2's increased power, fans anticipate a closer experience to the versions available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.

The Switch 2's game lineup is steadily taking shape. Numerous third-party titles are rumored, including Civilization 7, which its developer, Firaxis, finds intriguing, particularly the rumored Joy-Con mouse functionality. Nacon, a significant publisher, has also confirmed it has Switch 2 games in development. The highly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong is also rumored for the platform. Nintendo itself is developing a new Mario Kart, with more details expected in an April Nintendo Direct.
