3 Reasons to Pre-Order Madden 24 & 4 Reasons to Wait

Pre-Order If You Want to Play Madden 24 ASAP

If you want to play Madden 24 the second it's released, you'll want to pre-order.

Pre-ordering a copy of the Madden 24 Deluxe edition or EA Play Pro edition gives you three days early access to the final version of the game. Those who buy one of these versions can start playing on August 15th. 

If you pre-order a digital copy of the game, you'll be able to pre-load it onto your console ahead of the game's release date in August. 

Pre-loading the game files ahead of time will allow you to jump right in when the game unlocks on August 18th. Those of you in western time zones should be able to play starting on August 17th. 

If you buy a physical copy you won't get your delivery until the morning, afternoon, or night of August 18th. That may not be ideal for those of you who love to jump into the latest version of Madden right when it comes out.
