For now, we’ve not yet heard about the next North American Splatfest. We’ll keep you updated if any news comes in.

FIFA 18 does offer online play on Switch. Unfortunately though, the game has a huge omission. As the game is now, you have absolutely no way of playing with friends online. The only way you can run into a friend is through random chance.

Other elements missing from the Switch version of FIFA 18 compared to its console counterparts can be found here.
