Whether you’re looking to run onto the field in Madden 21 on PS5 or Xbox Series X/S, fly through the galaxy in Star Wars: Squadron, or watch your Sims in The Sims 4, there will be plenty of upgrades and details that will make your next-gen experience better.

Here’s what fans can expect from some of EA’s most popular titles when the next-gen consoles launch later this month:

Star Wars: Squadrons

With Star Wars: Squadrons, the team at Motive has created two different options for an improved experience on the Xbox Series X|S which the player can choose between: one for better visual quality and another for better performance. If the player chooses to fly across the galaxy with improved visual quality, the game will have a better lighting model where it will run up to 1440p at 60 FPS on the Xbox Series S and up to 2160p at 60 FPS on the Xbox Series X. If the player chooses performance, the game will run up to 1440p at 120 FPS and up to 2160p at 120 FPS respectively. Motive also added a Variable Refresh Rate on/off option for players with a TV that supports the feature. Star Wars: Squadrons on the PlayStation 5 will run with improved lighting, at the same resolution and framerate as on the PlayStation 4 Pro. And, no matter the platform - Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox Series X|S or PlayStation 5 - you can compete with other pilots through cross-platform play.

Apex Legends

Respawn Entertainment is bringing Apex Legends to new platforms this year including the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. This award-winning battle royale game that took the world by great surprise last year just launched Season 7 - Ascension yesterday with its third map, Olympus, a new Legend named Horizon, the introduction of vehicles, and much more. Next-gen players can expect a performance boost up to 1440p, with more formal enhancements planned for next year. Apex Legends will also support crossplay across PC via Origin and Steam, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.

The Sims 4

Since its release in 2014, The Sims 4 continues to add fresh new content into the game, and the base game and all of its packs including Tiny Living, Eco Lifestyle, Nifty Knitting and Star Wars: Journey to Batuu releases this year will be available on the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 with faster loading times and smoother framerates. The 10th expansion pack, Snowy Escape, is set to launch on November 13, when it will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Mac, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, bringing a Japanese-inspired world that offers a variety of activities for Sims to enjoy, from unwinding in the mountain’s onsen bathhouse, meditating on mindful walks or testing their limits with exciting, and sometimes dangerous sports activities like skiing, snowboarding and rock climbing.
