Football fans and bargain hunters, rejoice: Madden NFL 26 officially joins the Xbox Game Pass library today, February 5, 2026. In a major move by Electronic Arts and Microsoft, subscribers can now play the full version of the latest gridiron simulator at no additional cost—a massive value add considering the title’s standard $70 retail price tag. This headline addition is part of a robust Xbox Game Pass February 2026 lineup that also includes high-value perks for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Webtoon, transforming your subscription into one of the best Xbox deals today.

Play Madden 26 for Free: What You Need to Know

Starting today, Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass members can download and play Madden 26 for free via EA Play integration. This isn't a restricted trial; it is the complete game, allowing you to dive into the revamped Franchise mode, build your dream squad in Ultimate Team, or compete online in head-to-head matchups.

The addition comes at a perfect time for sports enthusiasts looking for a cheap Madden 26 option. Instead of paying the full sticker price or waiting for a deeper Madden 26 price drop, subscribers get instant access across Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Cloud Gaming. If you've been holding off on upgrading from last year's version, your patience has officially paid off.

Exclusive Supercharge Pack for Subscribers

The deal gets sweeter for Ultimate Team players. Alongside the base game, Microsoft and EA are offering an exclusive Supercharge Pack as a perk. Available from February 5 through March 6, this bundle gives you a significant head start with high-rated players to bolster your roster immediately. It’s a critical boost for new players looking to compete against veterans who have been playing since launch.

Massive Game Pass Ultimate Perks for February 2026

Beyond the gridiron, the Game Pass Ultimate perks for February are delivering over $100 in tangible value. Microsoft has rolled out specific bundles that cater to shooter fans and comic readers alike, cementing the service's reputation as one of the most cost-effective subscriptions in gaming.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Bundle

For first-person shooter fans, the new Season 02 update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 brings a hefty perks bundle. Subscribers can claim a pack that includes:

  • Two Operator Skins for customizing your battlefield presence.
  • Two Weapon Blueprints to enhance your arsenal.
  • Double XP Token (1 hour) to speed up your progression.
  • Additional cosmetics including a Weapon Charm, Finishing Move, and Loading Screens.

Free Month of Webtoon Premium

In a unique crossover, Ultimate members can also claim a free month of Webtoon Premium. This perk, valid until February 13, unlocks 100 coins, ad-free reading, and bonus credits for the popular digital comic platform. It’s an unexpected but valuable addition that diversifies the benefits beyond just standard gaming content.

More Games Joining Xbox Game Pass in February

While Madden NFL 26 Game Pass availability is the headline for sports fans, the February lineup is stacked with other heavy hitters. Today also sees the arrival of Paw Patrol Rescue Wheels: Championship, a family-friendly title perfect for younger gamers.

Looking ahead, the rest of the month promises even more value:

  • Relooted (February 10): A stealth-action heist game focusing on reclaiming cultural artifacts.
  • High on Life 2 (February 13): The sequel to the hit comedy shooter arrives as a day-one release.
  • Kingdom Come: Deliverance (February 13): The massive open-world RPG joins the library just in time for players to prep for its upcoming sequel.
  • Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (February 17): Ubisoft's stunning open-world adventure lets you explore the Western Frontier of Pandora.

Last Chance: Games Leaving Soon

As new titles arrive, older ones must depart. With the arrival of the newest entry, Madden NFL 24 is set to leave the service on February 15. If you have any unfinished achievements or Franchise saves in the 2024 edition, you have just over a week to wrap them up before migrating to the superior Madden 26 experience.

This rotation highlights the ‘revolving door’ nature of the service, but for February 2026, the trade-off is decidedly in the player's favor. Between a $70 sports blockbuster, premium shooter perks, and day-one indie hits, this month represents one of the strongest value propositions we've seen from Xbox in recent memory.
