We've got another surprise addition to April 2025's Xbox Game Pass lineup, as it's been announced that NHL 25 will be joining the service for Game Pass Ultimate members as part of its EA Play inclusion on April 10th.
The game will be available for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S when it arrives next week.
Although we didn't review NHL 25 here at Pure Xbox last year, I've been playing a fair bit of it over the past few months, and I'd say it's a decent version that doesn't make too many sweeping changes - the new features are still cool though.
You'll be able to make your own mind up when NHL 25 drops on Xbox Game Pass next Thursday!
Excited for NHL 25 on Xbox Game Pass? Let us know down in the comments section below.

Hey, @FraserG! I've never played any of these games at all, so I have three questions:
1. Is it easy to pick up and play as a brand new player?
2. Does it have difficulty settings?
3. Does it have couch co-op?
If I do play it, it will be sat next to my neighbour, and neither of us will have played it before. Thanks as always...
@Fiendish-Beaver Easy answers for you:
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes
It may feel a little overwhelming at first, but there are lots of settings you can tweak (and tutorials to try) that will make things easier.
Fantastic! Thank you as always, @FraserG. 😊
Now the question is do I get some sneaky practice in so as to one up my neighbour?!? Which, by the way, is what he tried with snooker, but that failed as I can still beat him... 🤣
I might give this a go ain't played fifa/ eafc ina bout a year it will scratch that sports game itch!
@Fiendish-Beaver use the flying v formation it's unbeatable Emilio figured that out in the early 90s ha✌️
@Ricky-Spanish lol that was great!
Hey I'm still relatively new to Gamepass so this may be a dumb question, but:
Are all the EA Sports titles that are on Gamepass not fully unlocked versions?
@dkxcalibur If they're in the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate library, they're fully unlocked.
If they're just "trial" versions, you only get 10 hours with them but they're still feature-complete (for the most part). NHL 25 has had a trial since it released, for example, but it's now going into the Game Pass library.
@FraserG Maybe I did something wrong because I currently subscribe to Gamepass Ultimate, but for some reason, the version of Madden I thought was incomplete. Maybe I missed something in game, but I thought it said I couldn't do ultimate team in Madden.
@dkxcalibur Shouldn't be the case! Give it another try, let me know if you're still having difficulties (and what kind of error messages you're getting if so).
@FraserG I try to give it a second go and report back.
