Affected players are reporting that after installing today’s update, freezes and crashes have started. This isn’t just limited to Switch as users on other platforms are experiencing similar problems. However, not every player has encountered issues, and everything on their end is working fine.

We’ll keep an eye on the situation and will update you if and when we learn more.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

New World Cup content for FIFA 18 seems to be happening and will be released on Switch

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

The 2018 FIFA World Cup is about a month and a half away, and EA is looking to capitalize through an update for FIFA 18.

Video game distributor US-1 America is listing a new version of FIFA 18 – releasing on Switch – that will include all 32 teams that made the World Cup (players and shirts match their WC uniforms) and the four major teams that did not qualify – USA, Chile, Italy, and Holland. The original game is included, but those who already have it should be able to get the extra content as well.

Some of the finer points are still a bit unclear. It’s assumed that EA will be offering the World Cup content as a free update, though that’s not confirmed at this time. EA should be making an official announcement soon.
