It’s more than just games, giving members 10-hour free trials of new titles a little in advance of their release, discounts on games to keep, and other member-only content and benefits. However, on Xbox, with backward compatibility, the EA library is larger than on PlayStation 4, so you might miss out on some PS3/360 gems there. Septem1 min read Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Game Pass for PC subscribers will soon have more gaming options on their hands, as Microsoft looks to include an EA Play membership at no additional cost later this year.
It features a large library of EA’s games, going back to the late 2000s, and through to the last year or two to include FIFA 20, Titanfall 2, Need for Speed Heat and more. Left out is the basic Xbox Game Pass subscription, though Microsoft would obviously like you to sign up for their all-encompassing Ultimate, which also bundles in Xbox Live Gold… and now EA Play.Īvailable on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam or Origin, EA Play on its own is £3.99 per month or massively discounted to £19.99 if you buy a full year. You need to be subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for £10.99 per month, or to Xbox Game Pass for PC, which is currently £3.99 per month but will jump up to £7.99 per month at some point in future. Over the last couple of days the official reveal of the Xbox Series S, plus its price and release date have been spoiled by online leaks, so Microsoft likely wanted to get this information out before anything else was spoilt.This isn’t entirely universal to the Game Pass subscription, though. Today's announcements, which come on the PlayStation's 25th Anniversary, are likely to have been forced by the recent leaks. Plus, Microsoft adds that "some of the best EA Play games will also be available for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members to play on Android devices via the cloud at no additional charge." This is ahead of xCloud's Android launch in just a few days time on September 15. These include some of EA's most popular franchises and top sports games including Madden NFL 21 and FIFA 21. If I try to purchase an EA Play membership, it tells me that the subscription is not available. This new partnership just adds value to what many already consider "the best deal in gaming" and strengthens Microsoft's proposition heading into the next generation.Īlongside access to a huge catalogue of EA titles, Xbox Game Pass subscribers will also now have access to trials of games for up to 10 hours. I just renewed my Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership, but whenever I try to download a game via EA Play, it tells me I still need to buy an EA Play membership.
EA Play is EA's equivalent of Xbox Game Pass and comes with more than 60 of EA’s biggest console and PC titles - these include FIFA 20, Need for Speed Heat and Star Wars Battlefront II.
