Madden 23 is out this week, and it’s one of the biggest video games of the year. That speaks to the continued influence and size of football fandom, and players eagerly await each year’s new game to see the new players and try out new game mechanics and modes. The modes in Madden 23 look familiar this year, albeit with one big change coming to one of them, and there are some major on-field overhauls via the Fieldsense system. For more on that, plus details on the game’s preorder options, Franchise mode details, and more, here’s everything you need to know about Madden NFL 23.

If it’s August, it’s #MaddenSZN, and this year’s game continues a recent tradition of spreading out its access according to a number of criteria. If you’re simply looking for the global launch date, that’s an easy one: Madden 23 launches worldwide on August 19 for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, Xbox One, PS4, and PC. However, there are a few ways to play it sooner.
Those who have an active EA Play or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription can access the game’s trial as early as August 16, as can those who purchase the game’s pricier All-Madden edition. If you’re playing via the game’s EA Play trial, you’ll have up to 10 hours of gameplay time available to you, though past seasons have included stopgaps in Face of the Franchise mode, so you can’t see the whole story without buying the game. Expect something similar in place for Madden 23.
What’s new in Madden 23?
Madden 23’s biggest change comes in the form of what’s called Fieldsense, an overhaul to several of the game’s on-field mechanics. New tackle animations and logic have redressed the play-by-play nature of the sport, while punchout fumbles and more gang tackles are meant to bring an added aggression to the game, which EA is collectively calling the Hit Everything feature.
