It’s clear that EA Vancouver is taking steps, so let’s hope that NHL 23 is the last year the series isn’t on the PC platform.After the highly popular first two games of the series (NHL Hockey and NHLPA Hockey '93), EA acquired both NHL and NHLPA licenses, and along the award-winning console versions of NHL '94 developed a more complex game for personal computers. Maybe there’s hope for the future, though, as NHL 23 will be the first game to offer players a light version of cross-platform play, and it’s the first entry in the franchise’s history to have a female cover athlete in Sarah Nurse. It’s also just good business to meet your players on the platform they prefer, and there is no doubt that there are gamers who would prefer to play NHL 23 (and future iterations) on PC. I'd also love to see what kind of visuals the NHL series would be capable of on PC. Navigating menus with a controller (in any game) isn’t great. As someone who primarily plays games on PC, and plays hundreds of hours of NHL each year, it would be a fantastic way to dig into the Franchise mode as a GM only. This will be the fifth consecutive year that Madden has released on PC, and the FIFA franchise has been releasing on PC for over a decade. If other EA Sports franchises didn’t have a history of releasing on PC in recent years, perhaps this would be an easier pill to swallow. For future years, I’m afraid I don’t have anything to announce at this point.” I confirmed this in an interview with developers from Electronic Arts Vancouver shortly after an NHL 23 press briefing, with NHL 23 Producer, Clement Kwong, stating, “For NHL 23, PC just wasn’t on the radar.
Unfortunately, NHL 23 will not be releasing on PC. NHL 23 will not release on PC even though many other EA Sports titles already have a home on the platform.
However, there exists a community of virtual puck lovers that have long waited for the NHL series to land on PC. The NHL franchise has a long history of releasing on console, and this year the franchise will return to both current and last-generation Xbox and PlayStation platforms.
