Madden 22 Early Access 16th August
The release date and time for Madden 22 will obviously vary slightly for different regions. Good news sports fans, the early access is out from 15:00 PT, 18:00 ET, and 23:00 BST for those that pre ordered the game on PC, so you can either play through the night or get it downloaded in preparation for tomorrow.
Unfortunately, Xbox and PlayStation players are going to have to wait till 21:00 PT tonight and at 00:00 ET and 00:00 BST on August 17th to get stuck into Madden 22.
As many will know by now, the Madden 22 release date is around the corner (20th August) and for those that can’t wait, if you buy the MVP or Dynasty editions of the game, you get early access as a pre order bonus. For those with early access, Madden 22 release date is going to be midnight tonight (17th August)
Madden 22 – MVP Vs Dynasty Edition
The Dynasty Edition is Madden 22’s ultimate edition of the game, with the most pre order bonuses out of all three. Of course, the Dynasty edition will set you back a lot more money but if you’re a huge Madden fan, you are likely to get some value out of this package. The main reason to go for one of these Madden 22 bundles over the standard edition is, of course, a bit of early access.
Pre order either the MVP or Dynasty edition of Madden 22 and you will be able to download it from tonight! These editions do cost extra but also come with plenty of added benefits.
