Please note that if a certain feature is not available on a particular platform generation’s version of the game, that it will not be available when playing that version on a different generation of hardware. Certain features (such as FieldSENSE™ Gameplay System, Superstar modes, cross-play features, updates to Franchise mode, and more) are not available on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One versions of the game; further, Face of the Franchise and the Yard are not available on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S versions of the game.

Does Dual Entitlement give me access to both the Playstation 4 and Playstation 5 versions of Madden NFL 25, or both the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S versions of Madden NFL 25?

You can switch back and forth between each version of the game, provided they are both installed on your PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S.

Will Playstation 5 players be able to match up and play against Playstation 4 players? What about Xbox Series X|S players with Xbox One?

Will my pre-order content from Playstation 4 or Xbox One carry over to Playstation 5 or Xbox Series X|S?

If you redeem pre-order content in Madden NFL 25 on PlayStation 4 then that content will be available when using the same account in Madden NFL 25 on PlayStation 5. If you pre-ordered Madden NFL 25 on PlayStation 4, but waited to play the game first on PlayStation 5, you will still receive the content on the applicable account.

If you redeemed pre-order content in Madden NFL 25 on Xbox One, then that content will be available, when using the same account, in Madden NFL 25 on Xbox Series X|S. If you pre-ordered Madden NFL 25 on Xbox One, but waited to play the game first on Xbox Series X|S, you will still receive the content on the applicable account.

What content will carry over if I upgrade to a next generation console?

No content or progression from Franchise modes, Face of the Franchise, the Yard, or Madden Ultimate Team™ will carry over between console generations using Dual Entitlement, owing to gameplay differences between Xbox One/PS4 versions and Xbox Series X|S/PS5 versions. Please note that Superstar: The League and Superstar: Showdown are not available on PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game. The Yard and Face of the Franchise are not available on PC, PS5, or Xbox Series X|S versions of the game.

If you upgrade to Xbox Series X|S or PS5, any content or progression that does not carry over from the previous version will still be available in your Xbox One or PS4 version. You can still access this content when you play the Xbox One or PS4 version of the game as long as you are playing this version on your Xbox One or PS4 console. If you play the Xbox One of PS4 version on your Xbox Series X|S or Gen 5 machine, the content will not transfer.
