Score Big with Madden NFL 25 on Game Pass Just in Time for Super Bowl Sunday
NFL Fans, Prepare for a Weekend of Heart-Stopping Action!
Are you ready to witness the Eagles snatch defeat from the jaws of victory this weekend? I’m not, but fate may have other plans. Either way, Philadelphia will be a mess. With schools already opening late the day after the Super Bowl, it’s the perfect time to relive the thrill of Saquon Barkley’s impressive 150+ rushing yards for the second game in a row or get revenge on Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, just like you did in Madden NFL 25.
