Maximum Football is an upcoming gridiron football video game developed by Invictus Games Ltd. and published by Modus Games. It is the successor to Maximum Football 2020, which was formerly developed by Canuck Play.[3] Modus Games acquired the rights to the Maximum Football series and announced the successor on September 1, 2021, on Discord.[4] Modus Games would make a formal announcement about the game's development on February 7, 2022.
The game is planned to be released on Steam, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The team behind the game released an official trailer on February 7, 2023, one year after the original statement. This will be the first game under the new developer/publisher regime and to not include former professional player Doug Flutie. The game was originally scheduled to be released in the spring of 2023 for Windows and Mac OS but was delayed for all platforms until further notice on May 26, 2023.
The game is free-to-play[5] which makes it one of the first triple-A sports video games to not have a price attached to it. The game is often compared to and rivaled to the EA Sports flagship National Football League title, Madden NFL which has drawn criticism for its lack of features that were featured in previous games.[6] This comes after the hashtag #FixMaddenFranchise was trending on Twitter and other social media platforms to spread awareness of EA Sports' lack of attention to the game mode. Madden NFL is the only game with the exclusive NFL license to include the likenesses of players and coaches into the game.
