College Football 25 Skyrockets to No. 1 on PSN, Amasses Over 2.2 Million Unique Players in Early Access
It looks like EA’s foray into college football is a super successful one, as EA Sports’ College Football 25 has amassed a ton of players in its early access phase (it’s officially out today), and it even managed to beat some of the most popular games of all-time.
In a press release sent out, EA has announced that College Football 25 has managed to nab over 2.2 million unique players during Early Access, with an additional 600,000 players also jumping in via the EA Play trial. Note that in order to play the football sim in Early Access, you’ll need to pony up $100 for the game’s Deluxe Edition.
This achievement by the game is made even more impressive since the game is only available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Imagine if last-gen consoles and even PC players were allowed to jump in!
Adding to College Football 25’s accomplishments is how the game has now hit the no.1 spot on the PlayStation Network Store’s “Top Games“! EA’s sports title managed to topple the likes of Fortnite and even Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3/Warzone.
Not only that, but even on the PSN Store’s pre-order page, College Football 25 has taken the top spot, and even beating Call of Duty: Black Ops 6!
College Football 25 sees the return of the college football sim after more than a decade of drought. The last collegiate football game released was NCAA Football 2014 released way back in 2013. That 11-year hiatus proved to be effective, as it seems football fans are jumping into the game in droves.
