About this game
FIFA 22 Legacy Edition brings football to Nintendo Switch with clubs, kits and squads based on the 2021/22 season. You can approach the game through Kick Off, Career Mode, licensed or custom tournaments, and Skill Games. These formats give you different ways to organise your football sessions, from a single match to following a career or competition. The Legacy label matters: gameplay features and modes retain parity with FIFA 21 on Switch, while this edition updates seasonal content and adds stadiums and competitions. Local play supports up to four players in TV or tabletop mode, with a compatible controller for each player; handheld mode is single-player. EA has retired FIFA 22’s online services, so online modes should not be a reason to choose this edition.
Collected in series
FIFA is EA SPORTS’ football series built around passing moves, defensive decisions and the excitement of scoring. Across its history, careers, Ultimate Team and women’s football broadened the experience beyond individual matches.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
An older Switch football edition to consider for local matches and established career or tournament formats.
The different match formats offer a choice between Kick Off, career and tournament play. The seasonal update retains the earlier Switch gameplay, so it has less appeal if your main goal is a new set of football mechanics.
Strengths
- Kick Off, Career Mode and tournaments provide different formats for football play.
- TV and tabletop local multiplayer give compatible-controller owners a way to play together.
Weaknesses
- Gameplay features and modes retain parity with FIFA 21 on Switch rather than introducing new gameplay features.
Who it is for: Players interested in local football matches or the established career and tournament formats, with an interest in the 2021/22 squads.
Play notes: EA has retired FIFA 22 online services and features. Local multiplayer needs one compatible controller per player, and handheld mode is single-player.
