Here’s what a source had to say:
As we formerly explained, FIFA games on Switch are now using on a custom-made engine. If EA does move Frostbite engine support to a Switch, it means games such as FIFA would utilize a same engine as a Xbox One and PS4 counterparts.There’s apparently conjecture this could outcome in other Frostbite games being brought opposite to Nintendo’s hybrid height in a future.
In 2017, EA’s FIFA lead Andrei Lazaresu pronounced a growth group opted with a custom-made engine on a Switch, as it didn’t wish a new FIFA diversion (at a time) to run on a lower-quality chronicle of a Frostbite engine:
“We intentionally chose to do a tradition engine given we felt that rather and try and get Frostbite using and finish adult carrying to downsize things and creation it only a smaller, lower-quality chronicle of a PS4 and Xbox One versions, we wanted this to be a FIFA that stands on a possess dual feet.”
EA might have given worked out a approach to get this engine adult and using on a Switch with fewer compromises.
