Madden 23: Which Edition to Buy?

Published

on

The Madden 23 release date has come and gone. If you’re interested in buying the game, you’ll want to buy the right edition for your interest level and budget.

EA’s released the latest installment in the long-running Madden series and Madden 23 is now available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Windows PC.

Unlike Madden 22 which had three editions, there are two Madden 23 editions: a standard version and an All-Madden Edition that comes with some bonuses at an added cost.

If you decide to buy Madden 23, you’ll want to pick the right edition. Each has its pros and cons and today we want to guide you through each one and tell you about the key differences between a physical and digital copy of the game.

Madden 23 Standard Edition

The standard edition is the most basic version of Madden 23.

For $59.99 (or less) if you own a PS4 or Xbox One, or $69.99 (or less) if you own an PS5 or Xbox Series X, you get a copy of the game.

There aren’t a ton of Madden 23 deals out there right now though EA Play subscribers can take the usual 10% discount on their order.

The Madden 23 standard edition is the most basic version of the game and it’s also the cheapest version of the game. It’s the edition most people should buy.

Who should buy the standard Madden 23 edition?

  • You plan to play Madden 23 casually.
  • You don’t plan to spend much, or any, time in Madden Ultimate Team.

You can buy the Madden 23 Standard Edition right now at various retailers including Amazon.

Madden 23 All-Madden Edition

If you think you might want some additional bonus items with your purchase, you might want to shell out a little more cash for the Madden 23 All-Madden Edition.

The Madden 23 All-Madden Edition will set you back $99.99 without a deal. This is the price for all platforms including Xbox One and PS4.

Here are the Madden 23 All-Madden 23 Edition bonuses:

  • 4600 Madden Points
    • Use Madden Points to upgrade your Ultimate Team, customize your avatar with new uniform designs, and more.
  • Dual Entitlement
    • Upgrade to PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S version

So who should opt for Madden 23 All-Madden Edition?

  • You plan to invest a lot of time in Madden 23.
  • You want to play Madden 23 right now, but plan to buy a PS5 or Xbox Series X after August 19th.
  • You plan to play a ton of MUT.

You can find the Madden 23 All-Madden Edition at a variety of retailers including Amazon.

Madden 23: Digital vs. Physical

Madden 23 comes in physical and digital formats. Here are a few things to consider before you pick one or the other.

If you’re sick of discs cluttering up your house, you should go with a digital version. You’ll also want to go with a digital if discs sometimes go missing or get damaged in your home.

If you play a lot of different games and don’t want to pull the disc out every time you want to play, go digital. Downloading a digital copy means you’ll have easy access to the game every time you start up your console.

Also of note, the Madden 23 All-Madden Edition is digital only, it seems. So if you want the higher-end bundle, you’ll have to buy it digitally.

There are also a few reasons to go with a physical copy of Madden 23.

If you buy a physical copy you’ll be able to sell it to GameStop or a reseller like Craigslist or eBay if you get tired of playing it. You’ll also be able to lend your copy out to friends or family members when you decide to move onto another game.
