EA has yet to reveal any official player count details; however, the game’s matchmaking menu includes a total count figure that, at the time of writing, we will be using as a measurement.

Just hours after College Football 25 entered early access, one playerposted on Xthatthe game already had over 600,000 players online.

For comparison’s sake, this makes it a more-concurrently played game on July 15 than even the biggest industry juggernauts on Steam like GTA 5 and Counter-Strike 2.

Given the game is still in its early access period, there’s every chance this number continues to climb with the full release.
