Is Madden 25 Coming to Xbox Game Pass?

Anyone who got their hands on the Deluxe Edition of Madden 25 will know that the game has an Early Access period that runs from August 12 to 15. That makes the game’s real launch day August 16, and those with Game Pass subscriptions are hoping it’ll arrive on the service that day. Unfortunately, EA Sports’ latest football game will not join Game Pass, at least not the base version.

Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will be able to download Madden 25 when it becomes available fully on EA Play. As it stands, the game is on the “Pro” version of the service, which is exclusive to PC. EA likes to wait several months after release to open it up to other EA Play members to ensure gamers are buying copies of the game rather than waiting around for it to drop on a service.

And that’s whether Madden 25 is coming to Xbox Game Pass. If you’re looking for more, here are the best Archetypes to choose in Madden NFL 25 Superstar mode.
