The price of FIFA 22 for the Nintendo Switch has been reduced in India. The price of FIFA 22 on the Nintendo Switch has been reduced from Rs. 3,999 to Rs. 2,499, according to distributor E-xpress, which has informed retailers of the change. Expect to see updated pricing on sites such as Mcube Games, Amazon, and Flipkart, among others.
When you consider that FIFA 22 on the Nintendo Switch was announced to have a $40 price internationally (approximately Rs. 2,800), the Rs. 3,999 price for India was mercenary to say the least. Even more so now that EA has confirmed that the FIFA 22 game for the Nintendo Switch is the legacy edition of the game.
This means that if you were expecting FIFA 22 Coins on the Nintendo Switch to include any of the features or visual enhancements found in other versions of the game, you'd be mistaken. It will most likely be similar to previous FIFA releases such as FIFA 18, FIFA 19, FIFA 20, and FIFA 21 with updated rosters. According to sources in the supply chain, the game continues to be a consistent seller on the Nintendo Switch.
In terms of the console itself, sales of the Nintendo Switch in India have surpassed those of the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S in 2020, with close to 100,000 units sold by March 2021. It was estimated a year ago that the Nintendo Switch had sold between 55,000 and 60,000 units in the United States during its entire country's lifetime. A near 100 percent increase in a year, particularly one that was fraught with the difficulties it experienced, is incredible, to say the least. In addition, an OLED version will be available in October at a price that is reportedly reasonable for India, despite the fact that Nintendo does not have an official presence there.
EA remains one of India's most prominent and largest publishers, thanks to the success of the FIFA and Need for Speed franchises, which continue to dominate console game sales in the country. It's one of the few titles that is available for pre-order in India on the same day as the rest of the world in FIFA 22 Coins.
In fact, most stores have told IGN India that sales of FIFA Ultimate Team Points – the game's in-game currency – are one of their top three revenue earners in terms of digital purchases, behind only Call of Duty Warzone Points and Apex Legends' Apex Coins.
FIFA 22 will be available on October 1, 2021, for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
