It’s also worth noting that while the PS4 and Xbox Series X versions will be compatible on the PS5 and Xbox Series respectively, there aren’t any full-fledged next-gen versions in development.
But for this year at least, NHL 21 won’t be following in the footsteps of Madden NFL 21 and FIFA 21.

The developer is looking forward to “opportunities the next-gen systems will bring in the future,” which makes it seem like next year’s iteration will be on PS5 and Xbox Series.
