Madden NFL 25: Burning Questions, Answered

Madden NFL 25 is the 2024 entry for the long-running, and very much beloved, franchise. With each entry have come new innovations and improvements that were not present in previous versions of the game — such as the new physics-based tackling system known as BOOM Technology.

Players may have a lot of questions on their minds about certain aspects of the game, like whether or not they can play with friends who bought the game on a different device or even if they will be playing side by side on the same console. It is important to be well-informed before taking the plunge into buying a new title.

Does Madden NFL 25 Have Cross-play?

Yes. Madden NFL 25 will offer cross-play functionality, and it will be enabled for numerous game modes by default. Cross-play can be disabled for those who do not wish to play with other fans across all supported devices. It is also worth mentioning that the Superstar game mode will also feature cross-platform support.

Does Madden NFL 25 Have Local Co-Op?

Yes. The game lists both local and online functionality for both its co-op and multiplayer options. Local co-op will support up to 2 players, while online will go as high as 3 players. In terms of multiplayer modes, the game allows up to 4 players for local, and up to 6 players online.

Is Madden NFL 25 On Game Pass?

No. However, players will be able to experience a trial version of the game if they have an active Game Pass subscription. This trial will give them 10 hours to try out the game and its many features to see if it is something they would enjoy playing. 10-hours is a generous amount, but game modes such as Franchise and Ultimate Team will require a lot more time to yield their full enjoyment.

Do Other Subscription Platforms Offer Madden NFL 25?

No. EA Play will offer the same 10-hour trial as Game Pass, but it will also offer its members a 10% discount if they are buying the console version of the game.
