If you're just interested in College Football 26, it’ll be available in both Standard and Deluxe Editions on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and possibly even on the Nintendo Switch 2. Pre-ordering gets you bonuses like extra skill points and other in-game content perfect for longtime fans of the franchise.

There are three EA Sports College Football 26, including the Standard, Deluxe, and MVP Bundle options.
