How to Sign Up for the Madden NFL 24 Beta

Madden NFL 24 Beta Modes and Content
The Madden NFL 24 Closed Beta features four game modes. The Play Now, H2H Ranked, Franchise, and Practice Modes. However, additional modes are planned to be added throughout the duration of the beta. Those modes are Superstar: The League, Superstar: Showdown, and Madden Ultimate Team. The game also has 500 new plays, but they are not final and may be changed for the launch version.
The new crossplay feature between PC and consoles is available in all four modes. Crossplay is enabled by default. If you want to disable it, PC and PlayStation players can turn it off through Madden 24 in-game settings. On the other hand, Xbox players have to do so through the console’s settings.
