EA Sports College Football 27 Coming to PC

TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

Insider Gaming has confirmed that EA Sports College Football 27 is coming to PC for the first time. This arrives ahead of an official announcement from Electronic Arts, which has yet to confirm the platform but appeared to hint at it in a recent press release.

PC version planned since early development. A release on PC has been in the works at EA since development on the college football series began earlier this decade. Sources close to the game's development say it was a priority as the PC player base continues to grow.

EA seemingly let the news slip by mentioning EA Play Pro in a recent press release. EA Play Pro is only available on PC.

Security concerns delayed PC support until third game. EA waited until the third game of the revival to bring the series to PC. A big reason was security for players in the game.

EA Sports College Football features real college athletes licensed via the Collegiate Licensing Company. This agreement ensures players are accurately represented and compensated for their participation and has resulted in limited customizations.

EA waited until the third game of the revival to bring the series to PC.

Licensing and modding risks addressed ahead of launch. A PC release raises the prospect of mods that could update presentation, equipment, or add current players or modifications to include real athletes not on the rosters. Sources say EA has gone through everything from a legal standpoint and feels confident there will be no issues on the licensing front.

Crossplay developed for consoles and PC. The PC version of College Football 27 was developed to allow crossplay between PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S users. One source said they would be surprised if players could not play online across all platforms, though it could be an extreme way to counter any licensing concerns.

Official reveal scheduled for June 4. The full reveal of EA Sports College Football 27, including the expected announcement of the PC version, will take place on Thursday, June 4, at 8pm ET. Insider Gaming will have full coverage of everything announced.
