Shining A Spotlight On Traits

Alright, Madden NFL 26 Mobile fans, get ready to level up your game because the very first Spotlight Pass is here! 

This isn't just a quick one-off event, it’s a wholly new addition to the game, and with each Spotlight Pass you'll have two whole weeks to dive in and grab some awesome rewards, and master two highlighted Player Traits!

So, how does it all work? Think of it like a new way to earn some serious loot, and a great way to rake in Keys for acquiring some new Player Traits

You'll be playing a series of Mini-Games, and as you play, you'll rack up turns. 

You'll use those turns to progress through different milestones on the Spotlight Pass, and every time you hit a new milestone, you'll earn some of those awesome rewards. 

Plus, hitting those milestones also pushes you further along the Spotlight Pass itself, opening up the door to even higher tiers of rewards.

While the Spotlight Pass can be conquered without spending a dime, just like the Field Pass there is an optional paid VIP track.

The VIP option for the Spotlight Pass will cost players $7.99.

Each Spotlight Pass puts the focus (get it?) on two specific Player Traits that you can unlock to make your players even more varied and useful on the field. Player Traits are a great way to switch up your strategy, and experiment with your team. 

Mastering The Mini-Games

There are no small victories, and like we said, making progress in the Spotlight Pass is all about mastering the Mini-Games

The core of the pass revolves around these short, fun challenges, and we’ve included a nice variety of game styles so things keep feeling nice and fresh throughout the season!

The four main Mini-Games you can expect to see are:

  • Touchdown Trail
  • Jigsaw
  • Formation
  • EndZone Fever

While the order of these may change, and there might be a few surprises in store as the season goes on, these four will be the core of your Spotlight Pass Mini-Game experience.

As you play the Mini-Games released in game, you’ll hit the Spotlight Pass milestones, rewarding you with Keys for new Player Traits, Coins, and advancing your progress along the Spotlight Pass journey.

The Mini-Games cycle every 3 days, so make sure to keep on top of what you’ve already conquered and what’s coming next!
