The MVP and Dynasty editions will be ready to download very soon! For the special players that decided to pre order these special editions, Madden 22 will come three days earlier than the scheduled release date.
That's right, if you placed a pre order on either the MVP or Dynasty Edition, you'll be able to play on August 17, 2021.
For those that didn't pre order, there's still time left for the EA Play Trial. You'll only get ten hours though before you'll have to purchase the full game.

Editions Price, Rewards, and Bonuses
There will be three different editions of Madden 22: Standard Edition, MVP Edition, and Dynasty Edition.
Each will come with a variety of different pre order rewards and bonuses, but it's not clear at the moment how many of these rewards are pre order exclusive and how many will still be available with each edition post-launch.
Madden 22 Standard Edition will be $69.99 on Xbox Series X|S and PS5, but just $59.99 on all other launch platforms.
The Madden 22 MVP Edition will cost $99.99, and the Dynasty Edition will be a whopping $119.99 at launch.

Madden 22 Release Date
The Madden 22 release date is on August 20, 2021.
However, players who snag one of the non-Standard editions of Madden 22 will get the chance to play as early as August 17, 2021 through Early Access.
The EA Play Trial will be available for a short time but you'll need to get in quickly. You'll also only have ten hours of playtime.
The great news is that you can pre order Madden 22 right from the trial, making it easy to get access to the game.
All Platforms (Next Gen & Current Gen)
Madden 22 has been confirmed to launch on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Google Stadia.
There will also be a mobile version of Madden 22, but we don't have more details yet on whether that will launch at the same time as the core game or how it will differ from other platforms.
Only the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles will be considered next gen, and as such all next gen exclusive features like Dynamic Gameday will only be available on those two platforms.
