What you need to know

  • EA Sports College Football 25 launched on Friday, July 19 on Xbox Series X|S and PS5, and is already a top seller in the US.
  • Mat Piscatella, executive director and video game industry advisor at market researcher Circana, announced on July 17 that the game had soared to the #3 spot for Xbox daily active users and #4 for PS5 — and that was while it was in early access, days before it launched for everyone.
  • EA Sports College Football 25 is the first new college football game in over 11 years, with the last being 2013's NCAA Football 14 on Xbox 360 and PS3.
  • The lack of new college football games was due to legal troubles in which EA and the NCAA faced a lawsuit from football players arguing their likeness was used in NCAA Football 14 without compensation. A 2021 Supreme Court decision and the resulting new NCAA compensation policies allowed EA to once again make a college football title with the likeness of players in it.
