Will Madden 24 be on Game Pass? All you need to know about EA’s latest offering

The highly-anticipated release of Madden 24 is just around the corner. The game will officially launch on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC on Aug. 18.

However, Madden 24 will not be on Game Pass at launch. Instead, a ten-hour trial will be available for Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play subscribers on Aug. 15.

Fans can expect the full Madden game to be available on Game Pass by Spring 2024. This is because Madden 23 was added fully to EA Play & Xbox Game Pass in February 2023, after the NFL season concluded.

Given the time frame of the previous launch, we can expect the game to come out on the service fully by April or May 2024. Ultimately, fans will need to wait for announcements from EA Sports or Microsoft regarding the launch of the simulation game on Game Pass.
