EA Sports College Football 25 came out on Friday, but it had already amassed millions of players thanks to early access.
EA Sports College Football 25 is already a gigantic hit, even though it just came out today (July 19). EA Sports revealed that around 2.2 million people played the game during its three-day early access period.
The only want to get into early access was to preorder the deluxe edition, which cost $100. So this announcement implies that millions of people paid at least an extra $30 to get an extra 72 hours of playtime before anybody else on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. In addition, more than 600,000 players got in via an EA Play trial. It’s unclear if the 2.2 million number refers to both deluxe edition owners and EA Play subscribers, however.
‘This game is for the fans, and the response we’ve seen from across the collegiate landscape, athletes, creators, celebrities, and the core community has been nothing short of spectacular,” Daryl Holt, senior vice president of EA Sports, said in the press release.
