Fans of American football are no doubt looking forward to the annual entry in EA’sMadden NFLseries, officially titledEA Sports Madden NFL 25. As such, we’ve compiled everything we know about this year’s game, including when it’ll launch and which platforms it will be available for.
When willMadden 25release?
As expected, EA has confirmed via digital store listings like Steam thatMadden NFL 25will launch this August; specifically, August 16. This means it will come out a month afterEA Sports College Football 25, another American football sim from EA.
What platforms willMadden 25release for?
Unsurprisingly,Madden NFL 25is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Aside from being the most current platforms, this has been the case for the last several games ever since 2020’sMadden NFL 21. Anyone who’s still on last-gen consoles don’t need to worry about missing out, though, as the game is coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as well. They aren’t being sold separately though; standard editions of the PS5 version come with the PS4 version, and standard editions of the Xbox Series X|S version come with the Xbox One version.
Is it actually calledMadden NFL 25?
There was speculation on what exactly this year’sMadden NFLgame would be called since EA already named the 2013 entryMadden NFL 25in celebration of the series’ 25th anniversary. Rather than go with anything radically different, EA’s elected to simply call this year’s entryEA Sports Madden NFL 25.
Admittedly, the 2013Madden NFL 25isn’t exactly the easiest to buy, what with it being over a decade old. We had a quick Google search and the only copies we can find are secondhand and for very little money, which should clue anyone in that it isn’t the latest entry. It’s also no longer available digitally on either the PlayStation or Xbox stores, so you don’t need to worry about pre-ordering the 2013 game by accident.
WillMadden NFL 25have cross-play?
At the time of writing, EA hasn’t formally confirmed ifMadden NFL 25will have cross-play. It’s a safe bet since it was included in last year’s game, and theXbox store listingalso mentions the inclusion of cross-platform multiplayer. However,Madden NFL 24only had cross-play on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. So, you probably shouldn’t expect to see cross-play on either the PS4 or Xbox One versions.
Who is makingMadden NFL 25?
EA Orlando, formerly known as EA Tiburon, has worked on theMadden NFLgames since 1995, and that continues to be the case forMadden NFL 25. It’s juggling two projects at once, though, since EA Orlando is working onEA Sports College Football 25too.
