EA Play 2020 introduces first look at Next-Gen
Electronic Arts held the annual EA Play event earlier today and did so remotely with a pre-taped production.

First trailer and features have been unveiled for Madden NFL 21
EA Sports today debuted the first look at Madden NFL 21 with the release of a trailer and some feature details.

Additionally the publisher confirmed owners of the PS4 version will be upgraded for free when moving onto PlayStation 5 matching the offer for those on Xbox One to Series X.
