What platforms willEA Sports College Football 25release for?
So far,EA Sports College Football 25is only confirmed to release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, meaning the series will be completely skipping the eighth generation of consoles (the last entry was for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360). Surprisingly, there’s been no mention of a PC version, which seems like an odd omission considering both theEA Sports FCseries (formerly known asFIFA) andMadden NFLgames have long since made the jump to PC. EA also hasn’t said whetherEA Sports College Football 25will feature cross-play, but that should hopefully be a given since it’s present in EA’s other sports games.
Which teams will be included inEA Sports College Football 25?
According to EA,all 134 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) schoolswill be included inEA Sports College Football 25. Individual players have the option to let EA use their likeness, but those who agree will be given $600 alongside a free copy of the game (viaCBS Sports). EA did add that the 128 Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) programs would not be included at launch, but this could mean they’ll be added as post-launch content.
Who is the developer forEA Sports College Football 25?
EA Sports College Football 25is being made by EA Orlando. This is the same studio that worked on the series back when it was calledNCAA Football, starting withNCAA Football 99. The studio was known as EA Tiburon back then, but was rebranded to EA Orlando in 2023. It’s also been responsible for EA’sMadden NFLgames and thePGA Tourgolf games.
