San Francisco 49ers superstar and reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year Christian McCaffrey on the cover of the all-new EA SPORTS Madden NFL 25, launching worldwide August 16. The full feature set for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series XS, and PC versions of Madden NFL 25, including details on the next level of FieldSENSE, new commentary and presentation, and updates across Franchise and other beloved modes will all be announced soon. Madden NFL 25 will be available on Xbox Series XS, PlayStation5, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC via EA app for Windows, Steam and Epic Games Store.

“Christian McCaffrey is a human highlight reel on NFL Sundays and our players love his dynamic abilities in Madden, scoring more than 450 million touchdowns with him last year and making him the most popular running back in Madden NFL 24,” said Mike Mahar, Senior Production Director, Madden NFL. “Christian’s electrifying, dynamic and physical play style perfectly represents the gameplay innovations we’re bringing to Madden NFL 25 and made him the perfect fit for this year’s cover.”

McCaffrey led San Francisco to Super Bowl LVIII last season and further cemented himself as one of the league’s most consistent and explosive players in the process. His 339 total touches, 2,023 scrimmage yards and 21 total touchdowns all represented NFL bests on the year, and he tied a league record with 17 straight games with a touchdown.

“To be on the cover of Madden NFL is a career achievement and an honor I share with all of my teammates, coaches and 49er Faithful who have helped make it possible,” said McCaffrey. “I'm pumped to get back on the field this year to give Madden players more reasons to keep scoring touchdowns with me in Madden NFL 25.”
