NFL Xtreme is a fast-paced, arcade-style American football game for the Sony PlayStation 1. Released in 1998, it departs from simulation-based gameplay, favoring exaggerated, over-the-top action synonymous with the 'Xtreme' moniker. Developed by 989 Sports, this title emphasizes brutal hits and high-flying acrobatics, encapsulating a 7-on-7 format that strips away some of the complexity seen in traditional 11-on-11 football games. Its genre blends sports with extreme arcade elements, delivering a unique and intense virtual gridiron experience.
