EA Sports College Football 25 has broken the all-time best sales record of a US football game. With EA Sports College Football 25 being the first game of the like to be released in over a decade, it's not too surprising to see the title have a lot of positive reception. The title offers quite a few differences from EA's Madden franchise, so that some consider it a completely different experience overall.
With reports previously stating that EA Sports College Football 25 was huge for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S sales, the game's success seems to be proven in terms of fan support. Not only that, the title was also part of the top 20 list of best-selling games in July 2024. Truly, many would say that EA Sports College Football 25 has continued to be one of EA's cash cows. According to new reports, the title may have broken a big record.
EA Sports College Football 25 Might Be Just the Game PS5 and Xbox Series X/S Need
EA Sports College Football 25 may be the game that the PS5 and Xbox Series X need to convince gamers on PS4 and Xbox One to upgrade to current-gen.
Video game industry analyst Mat Piscatella recently posted on Bluesky that EA Sports College Football 25 had overtaken all other football games in terms of US sales. The previous holder of the top spot was Madden NFL 07. In addition, the game is currently the second best-selling sports game in US history, with only NBA 2K21 above it. With EA Sports College Football 25 already making a ridiculous amount of money when it was released, it could be set to make even more sales until the next entry in the franchise comes out.
Why Has EA Sports College Football 25 Performed So Well?
The hype for the game has continually been high. Even prior to release, EA Sports College Football 25 was a massive hit. Many fans missed the small details which separated it from the Madden franchise. As many gamers claim that even the old NCAA Football titles offered a largely different atmosphere and experience than their NFL counterparts, College Football's return has definitely given football fans a refreshing game.
With EA Sports College Football 25's latest update bringing fixes for bugs and even updates to uniforms and stadiums, it may be set to keep improving on its established formula. It may be a while until next year's entry arrives, so fans can keep enjoying this year's game. With many insiders continuing to speak of the title's success, it could have a continued positive impact on its sales. Hopefully, EA Sports College Football 25 can keep its momentum rolling and possibly surpass NBA 2K21's spot on the charts.
