Another football season, another installment of Madden. And while the 2025 NFL season is still quite a way off, preorders for Madden NFL 25 are already open ahead of its August 16 release, and you can get a free $10 gift card with your preorder at Best Buy. Three versions of the game are up for grabs–one of which comes bundled with a copy of EA Sports College Football 25 (which releases July 16), making it a great way to save money if you know you’ll be picking up both later this year. We still don’t know a whole lot about this installment of the iconic franchise, though EA Sports will likely give it the usual refresh with improved mechanics and animations, an updated Ultimate Team mode, and more.
