According to Mat Piscatella, an analyst at Circana, he believes that College Football 25 will rank among the top 20 highest-selling video games in the United States during 2024. It even has the potential to break into the top 10 bestsellers. Furthermore, Piscatella anticipates that the launch of College Football 25 will contribute significantly to an increase in hardware sales within the US market.

A decrease in US hardware sales, particularly in video game hardware, has been a concerning trend for the industry. In comparison to May 2023, there was a 40% reduction in spending on hardware during May 2024, amounting to $202 million. Year-to-date, the US market has seen a 30% decrease in hardware expenditures compared to the same period last year. As of May 2024, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch all experienced double-digit percentage declines compared to the previous year. Among these, the Switch suffered the most significant loss.

As a die-hard college football fan and long-time gamer, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news with fellow enthusiasts! If you’re eager to get your hands on College Football 25, there are two options for you. For those who can’t wait and want an extra special experience, the $100 deluxe edition is now available. But if you’re on a budget or prefer trying before buying, EA Play subscribers have access to a 10-hour trial.
