EA Sports College Football 25 has finally been released, but how many players are diving into EA’s grand return to the franchise?
The latest EA sports game, College Football 25, has finally been released after three years of development and even more years on ice with the series. The new game is already available for early access and will be released worldwide on July 19, 2024.
The new game is part of the EA Sports College Football series and the first game in this franchise released since NCAA Football 14 in 2013.
In EA Sports College Football 25, there are over 10,000 college football players in the US, as well as real stadiums and much more.
Despite the new game only being in early access, it’s already making waves and attracting a huge number of players on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.
So, what is the current status of the number of players in College Football 25? Will it continue to grow in popularity after its big launch, or will it fade away in the coming months? Let’s delve into what we know.
EA has not disclosed official data on the number of players yet; however, the total number of players in the game is shown in the player selection menu, which we will use as a measure at the time of writing this article.
Just a few hours after College Football 25 was released in early access, one player wrote on X that there were already over 600,000 players online in the game.
For comparison, on July 15, more people were playing this game simultaneously than even in such industry giants on Steam like GTA 5 and Counter-Strike 2.
Given that the game is still in early access, there is a good chance that this number will continue to grow with the release of the full version.
However, with the return of the beloved series, a large number of players are already causing issues for EA, as the servers are struggling to cope with the load.
