Your Madden 25 Ultimate Team Is Safe In Next-Gen
EA Sports' free-to-play (with microtransactions) Ultimate Team mode is addictive, and Madden NFL 25 developer EA Tiburon is working to let you keep your progress in the mode if you move from the current-gen version to the next-gen one.
Ultimate Team players who own the current-gen version of Madden NFL 25 will get to transfer up to 1,100 UT items over to the next-gen version (naturally only from PS3 to PS4 and Xbox 360 to Xbox One). This is a one-time move that requires an online connection, an EA Origin account, and a PSN or Xbox Live account. You'll get to transfer up to 55 players, 45 items, and 1,000 reserve items in the migration. Once transferred, you can still use your UT cards on your current-gen system, but you will not be able to trade or auction them.
Furthermore, if you own the Madden NFL 25 Anniversary Edition for the current generation, you will get six UT All Pro packs for use on a single next-gen console.
Madden NFL 25 comes out on August 27 for current-gen systems and later this year for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Our Take
This is a great way to help out fans who will be spending money on both versions as well as any Ultimate Team cards – especially since EA is under no obligation to do this. Hopefully it will help evangelize the mode and its growth.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
