Nike Virtual Studios and EA SPORTS Will Bring .SWOOSH Virtual Creations to EA SPORTS Experiences

Nike Virtual Studios and EA SPORTS are today announcing a new partnership aimed at enhancing and personalizing the virtual sports experience for fans all over the world. This collaboration brings together two of the biggest names in sport and entertainment, and will lead to all new ways for members of .SWOOSH, Nike’s new digital community experience, and EA SPORTS fans to express their personal style through play.

Further details on the integration of the .SWOOSH community with future EA SPORTS experiences will be made available in the coming months.
