This is the first Plants vs. Zombies game since the original Plants vs. Zombies:
- To be released on Steam following EA'due south partnership with Valve in October 2019.
- To be released on a Nintendo arrangement (in this instance, Nintendo Switch.) The Nintendo Switch port also marks the debut of Frostbite engine (which is EA'due south proprietary engine created past Dice, used by many games published by EA, including the Plants vs. Zombies shooter games) on a Nintendo console.
This is the tertiary national Plants vs. Zombies game to be discontinued, later Plants vs. Zombies Adventures and Plants vs. Zombies Heroes.
On Microsoft Windows, the game has two different icons depending on the launcher:
- The Origin icon merely shows the Peashooter from the cover art, similar to Garden Warfare's PC icon.
- The Steam icon shows the whole cover art minus the logo.
Despite the game's discontinuation in September 2020, the game received a pocket-size update in March 2022, which adds Linux compatibility to make the game able to run on Steam Deck (due to the fact that the Steam Deck runs on SteamOS, which is based on Linux.)
- Prior to this update, attempting to launch the game on Linux would just effect in the game failing to launch because it's unable to initialize Piece of cake Anti-Cheat (which is not compatible with the Linux.)
