Madden NFL is one of the longest running annual gaming franchises and over the last three years, more players than ever have been playing the game. Continuing that trend with the latest release, Madden NFL 23 saw a 30 percent increase in games played during week one of launch compared to Madden NFL 22.

“Our team is passionate about creating the best experience for our players every time they start up Madden NFL 23 and we never stop improving the game after its release,” said Seann Graddy, Executive Producer, EA SPORTS Madden NFL “We’ve seen so much positive response to things like our new gameplay system, FieldSENSE and other features since launch and we look forward to continuing to deliver the best simulation football experience with new content throughout the NFL season.”

Through their increased play, Madden NFL players also overwhelmingly declared the Buffalo Bills as the team to watch this season as the Bills saw a 115 percent increase in usage compared to Madden NFL 22, making them the most popular team in the game. On top of being the most popular team, the Bills appeared in all five of the top most-played matchups with the Rams, Chargers, Buccaneers, Dolphins and Cowboys as their most common opponents. On the players’ side it was also all Buffalo. Josh Allen racked up the most passing yards and touchdowns of any quarterback, Stefon Diggs was the top receiver, newly traded Von Miller led in sacks and cornerback Tre’Davious White claimed the most interceptions.

Alongside the Free Play Weekend, a Title Update lands in Madden NFL 23 this week with fresh improvements based on player feedback and new content, including ‘CHECKMATE’ by two-time GRAMMY®nominee Cordae and 3-time GRAMMY® winning writer/producer/rapper Hit-Boy.
