Hockey games on PC
NHL 27 is not on PC. It came out September 11, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only, and EA hasn't released an NHL game on PC since NHL 09. On a PC you can play indie hockey games on Steam, or free hockey games in a browser, which work on Windows, Mac, Linux and Chromebooks alike.
Is NHL on Steam?
No. EA's NHL series has been console-only for years. Some people play it through a cloud or console streaming service on a PC, which works if you already own it on a console and the service supports it. It's still the console game, streamed.
