Madden 23 X-Factors List: All players with a Superstar X Factor ability at launch

Madden 23 has finally arrived, and Superstar X-Factors only went to the most elite players across the league.

We've got details on all players with a Superstar X-Factor ability in Madden 23 and what they do.

List of All Madden 23 X Factor Players

Madden 23 has officially kicked off Early Access just before the worldwide launch, and we're learning just who this year's elite X-Factors are.

Gameplay saw some major changes this year with the introduction of FieldSENSE revamping the engine on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

So far, X-Factors are looking functionally the same as they were last year, and they're just as hard to come by as before.

We already learned about Madden 23 ratings before launch, but now we've got confirmation of every single player with a Superstar X-Factor ability.

Unfortunately, not every team has made the cut on the current list, as the following are without a single player that has a Superstar X-Factor ability: Chicago Bears, Arizona Cardinals, Philadelphia Eagles, Atlanta Falcons, New York Giants, Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Jets, Detroit Lions, New England Patriots, and Houston Texans.

We could see this change as the year goes on via roster updates and patch updates, and some of the teams above do still have players with a lower-tier Superstar ability.
