Cricket 24 represents the latest iteration in a decade of cricket video game development, functioning as a comprehensive sports simulation. Players compete as major cricket nations, including Australia and England in the official Ashes, West Indies, New Zealand, and Ireland, alongside professional Indian T20 teams. Action unfolds across over 50 detailed official stadiums, providing the most complete video game simulation of cricket released to date.

The game immerses players in The Ashes, cricket's premier rivalry, through detailed cutscenes, press conferences, and team training sessions, complemented by unique commentary. Over 300 players are included with full photogrammetry, alongside official licenses for major nations and tournaments such as the KFC BBL, Weber WBBL, The Hundred, and the Caribbean Premier League. A robust Career Mode allows players to guide a club cricketer from local play to the international stage, developing skills and fanbase, with choices to specialize in short-form or Test cricket. Fielding systems receive a complete overhaul, delivering responsive controls. Cross-platform functionality enables online play against others regardless of platform, supporting the creation and sharing of custom content like stadiums and teams through an academy. Cricket 24 delivers a detailed and expansive cricket simulation experience.
