How to play College Football 25 in early access?

There are two ways to join the early access program. If you own the Digital Deluxe edition of the game, you’re automatically entitled to the extra 72 hours of gameplay. This is applicable for both Xbox andPlayStation users. There’s another way to enjoy the early access without buying the Deluxe edition.

You will get up to 10 hours of trial if you have an EA Play membership. This trial begins on July 16, along with the early access. Your active membership would allow you to enjoy all the game modes but for up to 10 hours. In fact, you don’t even need to own a copy of the game to get these benefits.

If you purchase a full copy of the game, all in-game progress will be carried over. Your EA Play membership will also entitle you to a 10% discount on a full purchase. This will be applicable on both the Standard and Deluxe editions. Hence, the 10 hour trial is a great way to test out the features to decide if the game is worth your time and money.
