EA’s first college football video game in 10 years is almost here, and its cover has been leaked early thanks to a digital storefront.
Over on the PlayStation Network Store, the page listing of EA Sports College Football 25 appeared, along with the deluxe edition cover. The three prominent athletes on the cover are University of Michigan’s Donovan Edwards in the center, University of Texas’s Quinn Ewers on the left, and University of Colorado’s Travis Hunter on the right.
According to the listing, the game has 134 FBS schools. One additional leaked screenshot shows that University of Notre Dame will be included in the roster. EA Sports College Football 25 will also support microtransactions in the form of virtual currency and in-game items.
There will be a full reveal for the game on May 16. The game is due out later this year on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The NCAA is not involved with EA Sports College Football, which is why the cover is missing the name and branding. Thanks to name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals, student athletes in college can now make money.
Last year, the College Football Players Association told others to boycott the game due players being offered low payment, which was reportedly around $500. The Brandr Group also sued EA, since the former has deals to negotiate group licensing contracts for 54 NCAA Division I schools.
