'College Football 25' Makes Shocking Amount Of Money

"College Football 25" has turned into a monster success for EA Sports.

The first college football game from EA Sports in more than a decade was released last week, and excitement was through the roof.

I bought a PS5 just to play the game, and it hasn't disappointed. It's a ton of fun.

"College Football 25" makes big money for EA Sports.

Some early sales data from last week indicated "College Football 25" generated more than $70 million in early sales. It turns out the actual number is significantly higher.

Polygon reported that around 2.2 million people paid for early access to the game at a price of $100. That means EA Sports earned around $220 million on just early access purchases.

That means the game isn't just a success for the video game company. It needed just one day to become unbelievably successful.

I think it's safe to say people were incredibly pumped and excited for "College Football 25." I'm far from a video game expert, but I do understand a little bit about money.

Earning $220 million on just early sales is nothing short of incredible. That doesn't even include people who paid $70 for the base version that was released Friday.

There's no way to describe the situation other than a massive win for EA Sports.

I bought "College Football 25" just for the nostalgic factor, and I'm beyond happy that I did. The gameplay is outrageously impressive and 100% worth the money.
