A new chapter of college football is about to arrive. EA’s College Football 26 brings an enhanced football experience with new offensive and defensive mechanics. The annual football game will now offer 2800 new plays, 10000 players, and 300 real world coaches. The game will be launching on consoles for sure with PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions on release and a Switch 2 version in the works. But is it launching for PC?

The quick and short answer is – no, the NCAA College Football series has never landed a foot on the PC platform. The series has always been a console-exclusive franchise. The last game in the series, College Football 25, only launched on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Even the previous game in the series, NCAA Football 14, only launched on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles.

How Can You Play EA College Football 26 on PC?

Some interesting features of EA College Football 26 include Personnel Management, Dynamic Deal Breakers, and player traits to add more depth to the experience. Players start off as a high school recruit on the path to Heisman glory while making decisions that shape their career. Players can rise in class rankings and secure scholarships before other recruits. The release also perfectly captures game day atmospheres with accurate sights, sounds and traditions.

Although the game isn’t officially launching on PC, there is a workaround that’ll let you play College Football 26 on PC shortly. This magic workaround is known as Xbox Cloud Gaming. Xbox Cloud Gaming is a service which lets you play Xbox console games on any compatible device. These compatible devices include – smartphones, smart TVs, smart fridges (yes, you heard that right), smart monitors and of course PCs.

What Is Xbox Cloud Gaming?

As of now, you can play College Football 25 on Xbox Cloud Gaming for a low monthly price. All you need is an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, a controller, and a PC with a decent internet connection. Though it should be noted that the upcoming College Football 26 won’t be available on Xbox Cloud Gaming on release.

The upcoming installment in the College Football series will be available on the cloud gaming platform sometime in the near future through EA Play. EA Play is a service bundled with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions that lets you access a wide catalog of EA games.

EA’s games, however, aren’t available on release, but a few months after release. There is no confirmed word on when College Football 26 will be available on Xbox Cloud Gaming through EA Play. It’s just a matter of when, and PC players will just have to wait it out.

You can play EA’s College Football 25 on Xbox Cloud Gaming on any PC with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. The only other accessories you need are a controller and a decent (15-20 Mbps) internet connection for smooth gameplay.
