College Football 25 Hit 5 Million Players In Its First Week

As the first entry in the franchise in over a decade, it's no surprise that EA Sports College Football 25 has been popular at launch, but new figures released by EA have revealed just how popular it's been. According to EA's quarterly financial results, CFB 25 saw over 5 million unique players in its first week.

EA's quarterly report for Q1 2025, which ended on June 30, encompasses what EA calls the "record-breaking launch of EA Sports College Football 25."

CFB 25 was drawing huge player numbers even before the game officially launched, with 2.2 million unique players logged during the game's four-day early-access period. That figure more than doubled in the first week after its full release on July 19, with 5 million unique players trying out the game--and that figure did not include an additional 500,000 players who checked it out via the EA Play trial.
