The NFL’s virtual soccer collection, previously available as a packaged good, is reborn as a subscription-based sport this year, offering existing owners of both the original and the new edition a seamless transition.
Scheduled for a fall release, the highly anticipated new iteration of the popular sports franchise promises an enhanced gaming experience with the introduction of free play, a full season mode, exhibition mode, updated rosters and uniforms.
Gaming enthusiasts who already own older versions of the game will receive the new base game for free, according to a blog post by developer StatusPro on Meta’s platform; this offer also includes the option to purchase the anticipated 2025 Version Update at a discounted price, which comes with additional content.
The 2025 edition’s premium version boasts enhanced features, including the ability to play as a linebacker, offering a fresh take on the game’s traditional quarterback-centric gameplay, plus the added thrill of online multiplayer capabilities.
The linebacker position will initially debut in a solo simulation mode upon release, but a future update will introduce full head-to-head multiplayer capabilities, including defensive strategies.
Starting in the new season, additional content packs will be available for purchase at a competitive price of $5 each.
A revolutionary social sports complex is being launched, where players can collaborate on challenges and experience smarter AI technology.
Available in distinct 2022 and 2023 models, these titles can be discovered on Quest, SteamVR headsets, PSVR 2, and Pico VR devices. The studio has neither confirmed nor denied whether the upcoming 2025 edition will be available on all supported headsets by this fall, with a sole exception being Oculus Quest thus far.
Following the recent funding led by Google Ventures, the pivot to stay service model has secured $20 million in Series A funding, with the company stating that this investment will support the development of its growing catalog of sports-focused VR titles?
