The Madden 23 soundtrack is an absolute beast. No Madden experience is complete without a selection of great tunes, and the latest iteration is no exception 

Madden 23 was released on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and PC on August 19. Madden 23's newfound realism makes for bone-crunching player pile-ups, and this latest incarnation of the franchise has been something really special. We're certainly hoping that EA will be able to take this one all the way to the proverbial endzone. 

It's fair to say that the last entry in the series was a bit underwhelming, with bugs and game mode problems holding the title back. However, it's also fair to say that its soundtrack did not disappoint. There were plenty of great tunes among the 56 tracks that were featured, including artists like J. Cole and Joyner Lucas. There were even 11 new tracks recorded especially for the game, featuring musicians like Jack Harlow and JID. In light of this, we were expecting big musical things from Madden 23. 

Madden 23's developers had said they want to honor the eponymous John Madden himself. With the release of this game, this ambition was clearly extended to every aspect of the game - including and especially when it comes to its music.
