NFL Xtreme

NFL Xtreme is an arcade-style American football game developed and published by 989 Studios, conceived as Sony’s response to Midway’s NFL Blitz series. The game embraces a five-on-five format with relaxed officiating, encouraging hard hits, spin moves, and trash talk in place of strict rules-of-play simulation. Tampa Bay Buccaneers fullback Mike Alstott appears on the cover.

The PAL landscape consists of a single catalogued variant, with the earliest PAL release dated 10 October 1998. Country distribution detail is not currently documented in the database, leaving the precise territorial scope of this release as an open research item. Language coverage is recorded as English only.

The single catalogued variant ships in a Full Jewel PAL case as a single-disc release. Hologram type and EAN barcode are not yet confirmed in the catalogue, both flagged for further investigation. As an EA-Sports-genre rival in a market that strongly favoured the Madden franchise on PAL territories, NFL Xtreme is a relatively scarce pickup and an interesting curio for sports collectors.
