We have some exciting news surrounding the Madden 23 EA Play Trial. Players should be able to get into the action a bit early very soon.
Some players last year were able to get Madden 22 for free through EA Play. The same scenario is likely to happen, however, it will be at a much later date.
Let's go over what we can expect during the EA Play Trial in Madden 23.
Madden 23 EA Play Trial launch
Players are excited about what could be a glimpse at Early Access through the Madden 23 EA Play Trial. Last year, this was a great way to get an early look at the game.
If you remember, last year we had ten hours of playtime, which gave users the chance to play Madden Ultimate Team, Head to Head, and Franchise Mode.
