EA SPORTS NHL 25 for Xbox Series X
EA SPORTS™ NHL 25 is powered by ICE-Q, a new gameplay intelligence system that lets you control every inch of the ice. From the modernised skating of Next-Gen Vision Control and an overhaul of Chel’s AI player movement to authentic Reactive Action animations — experience true hockey intelligence.
ICE-Q
This is true hockey intelligence. Built on an all-new logic-driven animation system, ICE-Q responds to contextual events on the ice with unprecedented authenticity and is the foundation of Chel’s gameplay overhaul. The result? A trio of new features that give players more control over the action than ever before, a major upgrade to the reliability and accuracy of CPU players, and a massive new animation set that makes gameplay a more seamless and realistic experience.
NEXT-GEN VISION CONTROL
An on-ice evolution. Next-Gen Vision Control provides fresh abilities, improvements, and a user-initiated skating mode that ups the responsiveness, explosiveness, and expression on the ice for human and AI players alike.
GRUDGE MATCH
Hockey is at its best when the competition is fierce. The all-new Grudge Match System tracks the history of matchups between teams across all major online and offline modes in NHL 25 to add more context, stakes and heat to showdowns with your rivals.
NEXT-GEN CHARACTERS
The next best thing to the real thing. Thanks to the introduction of Sapien Technology to the NHL franchise and the power of our Frostbite Engine on next-gen consoles, all of NHL 25’s in-game characters have received a serious visual overhaul. That includes new cloth warp and strand hair updates that deliver authentic, lifelike models.
