From club sides through to the world’s biggest international tournaments, every detail in Rugby 25 has been meticulously crafted to bring the excitement and intensity of the sport to your hands.

Welcome to the ultimate rugby video game experience, Rugby 25!

Whether you're a seasoned pro or new to the sport, Rugby 25 immerses you in the fast-paced, hard-hitting action like no rugby video game before it.

From the grassroots of local clubs through to the grand stages of the world’s biggest international tournaments, every detail has been meticulously crafted to bring the excitement and intensity of the sport to your hands.

Rugby 25 is where legends will be born and history made.


As the game has had a deferred release due to scheduling issues with regard to teams making players available for photogrammetry, consequently shifting focus to the 2024-2025 season, the game shall now be known as Rugby 25. The early access version on the Steam platform, incorporating just part of the content, is playable from today, giving players a preview of the game’s mechanics, the studio’s aims and the opportunity to influence its development. The title will be released later this year with the final content incorporated, making it the most complete and ambitious rugby video game to date.

Upon Early Access release, teams will not be final, nor will the players have their photogrammetry likeness integrated into the game. As the Early Access period progresses, teams and players will have their names and likeness updated and integrated into the game.

This Early Access phase will not only allow purchasers to enjoy the game ahead of its full release, it also empowers them to influence its development direction. With promising feedback and a growing player base, Rugby 25 Early Access sets the stage for a groundbreaking entry into the world of rugby gaming, creating the most comprehensive Rugby video game of all time.

In this initial Early Access release players will be able to select from 21 Nations, including the Australian Wallabies and French teams, with complete photogrammetry. Other teams and photogrammetry will be constantly added over the Early Access period, to reach a total of over 140 international teams, including New Zealand, South Africa and England, as well as more than 150 club teams from 11 competitions, such as the URC, the English Premiership, France’s Top 14, MLR and Super Rugby. More content, including teams, stadia and new playing modes, will be added in every update, right through to the game’s final release.

The development team are eager to receive and incorporate feedback from the community. They would like to invite fans and experts to team up with them directly via the dedicated chats and forums, to help make Rugby 25 the best rugby simulation to date.

Rugby 25 is in development for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) and is scheduled after the Early Access process is complete.
