Madden 24 Charges onto Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Just in Time for Super Bowl LVIII

Heads up, Xbox Nation! Get ready to dive into the digital arena faster than a pick-six because Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is about to level up with a fresh batch of titles, including Madden 24! But before we break out the victory dance, let’s pay respects to a couple of legends leaving the service soon (we’ll miss you, Opus and Galactic Civilizations!).

Now, onto the glorious smorgasbord of February additions! Buckle up, because we’ve got gridiron glory, brain-bending puzzles, restaurant pandemonium, and even…wait for it…plate-flipping fun! Let’s break it down one-by-one:

Madden 24

(Available Feb. 8th)

This one’s got me hyped like a pre-game locker room. Super Bowl Sunday is right around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than by dominating the virtual gridiron with Madden 24? They’ve even added new passing mechanics, including jump and dive passes, to up your quarterback game. Plus, an expanded playbook with over 700 new formations and 500 plays means you can outsmart your opponents like a chess master. So, even if your real-life team isn’t vying for the Lombardi Trophy, you can still claim victory in the digital realm. Trust me, this is one touchdown you don’t wanna miss.
