NHL 26 News on Xbox Game Pass

• The game introduces the Ice-Q 2.0 system, powered by NHL Edge data, which makes players think, move, and behave like their real-life counterparts. This includes a new goalie control system, more realistic attributes and tendencies, and an experience even closer to professional hockey.
• Visually, NHL 26 arrives with a refreshed graphics package: the Delta Center as a playable arena, improved net meshes, neck protectors for players, and dynamic menus with greater readability. The sequences with Dynamic Cinematic Lighting also stand out, giving a more spectacular touch to replays and moments outside of gameplay.

Finally, the Be A Pro mode has been revamped with stories, characters, and challenges that accompany the player from the World Juniors to the draft, including the emotions of debuting in the elite, overcoming slumps, and, if necessary, making a comeback from the minor leagues.
