The hype for the launch of Madden 24 keeps growing as August 18 approaches. The devs have already unveiled all of the new features and changes in every game mode, including the new technology that aims to enhance the gameplay experience.

Some fans have already pre-ordered the game, and some others have enjoyed both closed beta periods of Madden 24. But, for those who haven’t been able to access it, we’ll bring you all you need to know to play Madden 24 before its official release.

We are so close to the launch of Madden 24, and you should know that there are two ways to play early, so here’s our comprehensive guide with all the details on Madden 24 early access.

How to play Madden 24 early

The first way to get early access to Madden 24 is by pre-ordering the Deluxe Edition of the game, while the second one is with an EA Play or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership.

In addition to receiving Madden Points, Josh Allen’s card, and more items with the Madden 24 Deluxe Edition, users have the opportunity to enjoy the game starting August 15, three days before the official release. However, you must preorder the game on any of its available platforms: PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, or PC.

The second way to get early access to Madden 24 is through EA Play or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions. This early access period will also start on August 15, but the difference here is that subscribers to either of these memberships will only have access to a ten-hour trial, something that is common for new EA Sports games.
