Two different editions to choose from

EA Sports College Football 25 will be available on consoles on July 19, 2024. It’s been a long time in the making, with the publisher revealing the series return back in 2021, so of course, you’ll want to do launch right after waiting so long.

As usual, EA Sports has opted to provide different editions for the upcoming college football simulator. These editions of College Football 25 not only differ in price, but they also have varied content, making the choice a little difficult for those of you chasing other perks, Team Packs, and even early access.

Every EA Sports College Football 25 edition

As of writing, EA Sports College Football 25 is available for pre-order on the current-gen consoles (it won’t get a PC launch). You can opt for the following editions based on your preferences:

  • Standard Edition
  • Digital Deluxe Edition

Additionally, the Digital Deluxe Edition is also included in the EA Sports MVP Bundle. This bundle offers the Madden 25 Digital Deluxe Edition, and the two games go at a discounted rate of $149.99.

Here are the contents available in the two EA Sports College Football 25 editions. First, let’s take a look at what you get with the Standard Edition of the upcoming sports title, available for $69.99.

EA Sports College Football 25 (Standard Edition)

  • Full Game
  • Alma Mater Ultimate Team Pack 
  • Cover Athlete Ultimate Team Pack 
  • Bring Glory Home Ultimate Team Uniform Item 

The Digital Deluxe Edition includes everything available in the Standard Edition, but there are some extra goodies added for its $99.99 price tag.

EA Sports College Football 25 (Deluxe Edition)

  • 3 Day Early Access (Jul 16-18)

Which is the best EA Sports College Football 25 edition to buy?

There’s no wrong decision when it comes to selecting your EA Sports College Football 25 edition, and everything depends on the kind of experience that you’re looking for. If you’re someone who wants to play casually, definitely opt for the Standard Edition. It’s the cheapest option, as the Digital Deluxe Edition costs $99.99.

The Digital Deluxe Edition is only meant for those who want a hardcore experience along with three days of early access. Most of the extra goodies, including the premium currency, are useful in the Ultimate Team mode. If you want to stick with the offline game modes, it makes little sense to spend $30 more.

If you plan on playing Madden 25, go for the EA Sports MVP Bundle. The bundle costs $149.99, saving you $50 over buying the two Digital Deluxe Editions of Madden 25 and EA Sports College Football 25 separately.
