Madden spans two current releases: the video game Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition, out now on Apple Arcade, and the Prime Original film Madden, which begins streaming on Prime Video on November 18. The two projects cover different sides of the name, one a playable version of the football series and one a drama about John Madden's Raiders years and the game's creation.
Madden currently covers two releases from different companies. Electronic Arts put out Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition on Apple Arcade on August 6. The version runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV, uses the Ignite engine, and carries franchise and quick play modes. It has no ads and no in-app purchases, which sets it apart from the free-to-play Madden NFL 27 Mobile Football. Retro Bowl College+ arrived on the same service that day.
The other project is Amazon MGM Studios' Prime Original film Madden, which reaches Prime Video on November 18. Nicolas Cage plays John Madden, Christian Bale plays Al Davis, and David O. Russell directs and writes. Kathryn Hahn, Sienna Miller, John Mulaney, and Shane Gillis round out the cast. The story follows Madden's run with the Oakland Raiders and the creation of the Madden NFL video game.
Coverage so far treats the two as separate: a game release on Apple's subscription service in August, and a streaming film due in November. Neither story connects the projects to each other, and no further Madden releases have been announced in this cluster. The series name now sits behind a console and mobile game line and a feature film about the man it is named after.
