NHL 25 Drops on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate April 10 — Here’s Everything You Need to Know
Heads up, Game Pass warriors — NHL 25 is skating its way onto Xbox Game Pass Ultimate this April 10, and it's bringing some frosty competition to your console. If you're a subscriber, you're in luck — this is just one of the sweet new titles landing this month, and it's all included in your sub. No extra cash, just pure hockey vibes.
🎮 What’s the Deal with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate?
For those new to the party — Xbox Game Pass Ultimate isn’t your average game subscription. You’re getting access to a fat library of console and PC games, day-one drops, online multiplayer, cloud gaming, exclusive discounts, and a bunch of other perks. One of the biggest bonuses? Access to everything on EA Play — and that's exactly how NHL 25 is sliding in.
🏒 NHL 25 Hits the Ice
NHL 25, the latest in EA’s long-running hockey franchise, will be available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate starting April 10, thanks to EA Play. Sure, reviews for NHL 25 weren’t as glowing as past entries, but now that it's included in your subscription, there's zero risk in trying it out. Just download, hit the rink, and see if it scores with you.
Whether you're playing for the first time or you're a puck-handling pro, the ice is yours to own. And remember — skating backward while checking someone into the boards feels way better when it's free.
