During a preview, behind closed doors, with the Eurogamer site, EA Sports Executive Producer Aaron McHardy released some statements regarding the non-upgrade the PC version of the new FIFA 21 football simulator.
According to the statements, EA Sports has decided not to release a PC version comparable to the Next Gen for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms in order not to change the minimum requirements and not to allow fans of the series to be able to use the product correctly.
“When we looked at what generation to put the PC game on, we looked at our fans and what capabilities they had with the hardware they have,” McHardy said.
“And we have that information to understand what the power of the PCs out there in the world are. And when we looked at that, in order to run the gen five game, our min spec would have been at a spot that would have left a lot of people out in the cold not being able to play the game.“
“So we made the choice to keep the PC version of the game on the gen four version of FIFA so that we can open the doors and be inclusive to everybody who wants to play FIFA.”
What do you think about it? Is EA Sports’ decision correct or could the developers have opted for a different choice perhaps giving the opportunity to upgrade FIFA 21 based on the power of the PCs?
FIFA 21 is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch and in December 4th for the Next Gen PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X platforms Keep on following us also through our social Facebook and Twitter for other news and information.
