Pay-for-play: Schools' royalties tied directly to usage in EA Sports College Football 26
Want to support your college football team? Use your squad every time you play EA Sports College Football 26.
Electronic Arts has devised a new method of paying universities for the usage of their names, images and likenesses in the new game, and it ties royalties directly to how often the teams are used in game play.
The new arrangement should allow schools with breakout stars, who are used more often in the game, to potentially retain that player through increased NIL funds.
Beginning with this new edition released in July, all 136 FBS schools that opted into the game will be compensated by their popularity with gamers.
College Football 26 will be released worldwide July 10, following the incredible success of last year's version, which became the most widely played sports video game of all time with more than 1.7 billion streams of the game.
