College Football 25 Passes 700,000 Concurrent Players During Early Access
After 10 years away, EA’s college football video game series has returned with EA Sports College Football 25, and it seems like the game is off to a hot start.
The game launched on July 15 for people who bought the $100 deluxe edition or jumped in via the EA Play 10-hour trial, and more than 700,000 people were logged in concurrently right away. College Football 25 supports cross-play on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, so presumably this number includes players on both platforms.

College Football 25 is exclusive to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and anecdotal evidence seems to point to the game helping lift console sales. One social media user pointed out there appears to be an uptick in Xbox Series S sales on Walmart, though whether or not this is connected to College Football 25’s release is unknown.
