Christian McCaffrey Steps On Field: Madden 25 Cover Star Revealed.

Madd 25: Every Edition & Pre-Order Bonus

Like normal, Madden 25 will come in Standard and Deluxe editions. The two differ mostly in the perks players get for purchase. Although it costs more, the Deluxe Edition surely consists in more. Nonetheless, pre-ordering the Standard Edition of Madden 25—which costs $69.99 USD across all platforms—will still result in certain perks for users. All pre-orders of Madden 25, then, include a Cover Athlete Elite Player Item (for use in Madden's Franchise Mode), the player's choice of two Strategy Items, a set of Superstar Drip Gear, and a Legendary XP boost.

At $99.99, the Deluxe Edition of Madden NFL 25 features everything the above plus a few distinctive add-ons. Players who pre-order the Deluxe Edition will also get three days of early access to Madden 25 (meaning they will be able to start playing on August 13), early access Ultimate Team Challenges (special in-game goals and rewards, just available before launch), 4,600 Madden points (spent on player and team customization), and an AKA Player Item (a player whose jersey features an alternate name or nickname).

Madden 25 Cover Athletes Revealed alongside Pre-Order Bonuses and Release Date

With a Release Date and list of pre-order goodies coming close behind, Madden NFL 25 has formally identified the cover player for the next yearly football franchise installment. Every year another football player adorns Madden's cover. Usually it's a rising star, high performer, or recent legend. Featuring on the cover of Madden is a great honor since it's evidence of the chosen player's NFL marketability and recognition.

Cover star for Maddens 25 will be San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey. Since 2022, McCaffrey has been playing for the 49ers; during this time the NFL crowned him the Offensive Player of the Year. On both the Standard and Deluxe Editions of the game, McCaffrey will show up in varying pictures. Following the regular release schedule, Madden 25 will be available on August 16, 2024; mid-August release windows are common for Madden games to coincide with the start of the football season just a few weeks later.

Specifically, users can pre-order both College Football and Madden 25 in one cheap package as EA Sports College Football releases later this summer.

Known as the MVP Bundle, it consists of a few special Player Items in addition to the Deluxe Editions of both games. Given this costs $149.99, the user essentially receives one of the games half-off. The MVP Bundle won't function on PC, though; PS5 and Xbox-College Football is skipping PC hence it is only accessible for those platforms.

Closer to debut, more details on Madden 25—including fresh features, visual enhancements, and highlighted players—may be unveiled. Though a trailer is probably forthcoming, gameplay has not yet been shown. Players starting their Madd NFL 25 will have to wait till August 16 for now.

Over the years, several outstanding Madden video games have been produced. On Metacritic, though, which one ranks highest?

Madden 24 had Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen on its cover.

One of the most well-known football Video Game series ever, the Maddens have produced a lot of critically praised editions over time. Among the greatest are Madden 25, where players and journalists alike gave great marks. Fans appear to enjoy what Madden 25 produced overall, which is why its following is still somewhat high.
