College Football 25 Had Over 5 Million Players In Its First Week

As a seasoned gamer with decades of digital football under my belt, let me tell you, I’ve never been more thrilled about a video game release than EA Sports College Football 25! With over 5 million unique players within the first week, it’s like witnessing the Super Bowl every day – and that’s saying something for a guy who’s seen his fair share of NFL games.


In just its first week on the market, more than 5 million distinct gamers have played EA Sports College Football 25, exceeding initial anticipations.

EA made the announcement as part of its earnings call for Q1 of fiscal year 2025 on Tuesday.

“Following the close of the quarter, EA Sports College Football 25 saw a total of 5 million distinct players join the game during its initial week. Additionally, an extra 500,000 players tried out the game through the EA Play trial, as reported by EA.”

Due to the fact that the game “College Football 25” was launched before the fiscal quarter ended, its earnings won’t be disclosed until the Q2 FY2025 financial report, which is due in a few months. However, the anticipated revenue is exceptionally high.

According to TopMob’s previous reports, Electronic Arts (EA) aimed for College Football 25 to generate around $100 million in revenue to be deemed successful. However, it appears that the game has significantly outperformed expectations, with estimated revenues surpassing the half-billion mark. It’s important to note that these estimates don’t provide a clear distinction between Deluxe Editions priced at $99.99 and Standard Editions priced at $69.99, nor do they offer any details regarding College Ultimate Team.

I reached out to a contact regarding the initial sales figures for the week ending July 26th. Their reply was straightforward.

“Holy ****. The franchise is set up for the future,” the source said.

Based on those first-week player numbers, it’s safe to say they’re right.
