Ok, I'm actually mad about that.
What the heck, EA/Xbox? This is not a "game delayed" type of thing, I'm paying monthly for this thing.

I'm the same, the new app never updates any of the games and they just disappear until they're updated and I've to open origin to update them.
i'm sure this has to do with both the xbox app and the ea play app both sucking and not being able to talk to each other which is probably good that they have to go out of their way to fix both
but kinda scummy that they waited until the last second to announce it

Idk, you can find all the games (at least the ones i looked for Mass effect, dead space, dragon age) on the microsoft store already, there isnt an option to even buy them tho, just redeem code.
I feel like you're right, but it's still strange how last minute it is.
EA ran out of money to buy Codemasters? as a result they are trying make sales on EA Play from Origin/EA or Steam? (instead of freebies for Game Pass PC)
Are you talking about the games you have access to or how it all works at a functional level on Windows 10?
We're aware players from Brazil are experiencing access restriction to the EA Desktop Beta. We're still working on it, but unable to give you access just yet. In the meantime, you'll find the regular version of Origin will still provide access to your games and content.

I hope they offer refunds or free extensions for those who signed up just for this. That's pretty short notice!
I wonder if this has something to do with the Xbox app breaking recently. Maybe they had begun integrating whatever code supported the Origin layer EA probably required, and it ended up breaking a bunch of shit.
Honestly so glad I canceled Gamepass PC months ago. Taking a broken app out of "Beta" and doubling the price was too much.
I almost didn't buy Jedi Fallen Order during the last Steam sale because EA Play was coming to Gamepass, but decided that owning it for $20-something was the better move. And now this happens, I made the right decision.
Announcing this the day of though? Takes some serious stones lmao.

It fails to recognize your subscription to Gamepass. A lot of people(including myself) have been unable to download/play gamepass games through the app for over a week now, though you can apparently still do so through the Microsoft store, but I haven't verified that personally.
Edit: I actually just checked and now the app recognizes my sub, so maybe they sorted that out, but yea for about a week I basically could only play the games I currently had downloaded, and only by directly accessing the app on my pc.
I have this issue. And you can download the games through MS Store with no problem.
I'll be honest, not much of value was lost. On the XSX, I've only installed Peggle 2 and Jedi Fallen Order. There are a few others I'm on the fence about (maybe trying a UFC game, maybe playing through Unraveled), but it's a pretty underwhelming service on the whole. The vast majority of titles are old sports games (utterly pointless to have any edition prior to the previous year) and there's a stark contrast in the amount of content from the 360 generation as well. You see so many Xbox 360 covers and then really a relative handful of covers otherwise, with again, most being sports titles. I was sort of surprised to be reminded at how "safe" EA played it last gen apparently.
It's certainly a nice bonus, but the actual value of the service to me is extremely minimal.

Crusader Kings 3 and Outer Worlds basically paid the cost of service for the entire time I've had it personally. There are a ton of good games on there -- I can agree that the installation process an Windows Store integration mess is supremely frustrating though.
Yeah. I didn't get the initial hate I saw for the game as I loved it. But it wore on and became more and more tedious. It should have ended 5 hours before it did
I am starting to get worried about this one. I was hoping that it would just be a connection to Origin and that I could use the Origin client to manage my EA games. Wouldn't that be really simple to implement, just link a MS account to an EA account?
Microsoft Store is fucking shit and I want to use it the least amount possible.

Wow, talk about a disappointment. I subbed right in time for EA Play and that's what I get. If they don't release until February I will be pretty pissed I wasted my free trial and didn't get EA Play.
I woke up and went running to my PC to download Fallen Order. What hurts the most is they couldn't even delay last night, they waited for literally the last second. Only makes GamePass look worse and messier than it already is.

Im the opposite, for me that would have been such a huge disappointment, you either have all the gamepass games on the gamepass app or it might as well not exist for me. Nothing against giving people the option to do that, but it would be absolutely ridiculous to me to need two apps just to manage all games from the same service.
I'm actually heartbroken. I've been DYING to play Fallen Order. I don't own an Xbox and it feels like everything I'm interested in never comes to PC until later. I would have had more of a chance to play Doom if it arrived earlier on PC, and I'd kill to play Control right now. Even something like Skyrim, I'd love to play it on PC, but also, do not want to buy it a third time. Obviously I doubt this is something they wanted to do, it's just unfortunate. There's still a long way to go for parity between GamePass for Xbox and PC.
Totally forgot about this. Anyway not fimilar with EA Play, but could I play the Mass Effect Legendary Edition, or whatever they called that new remake bundle, day 1 or is it more of after some time games appear on it kind of deal?
Usually after a year, you get a 10h trial of new games and can buy them at a discount.
Wow. Feels like this must've been a massive showstopper bug or something at the last possible minute, they've certainly been promoting the December 15th date over the past few days even. Whatever happened must be really bad for them to delay at this point. Even if there was an issue that came up that required a workaround or extra effort on the users' part, that would be better in my mind than straight up delaying the whole thing. I definitely feel for those who have to fix all of this at this time of year. I'm assuming they're saying 2021 because there'll probably be less work done over the holidays, but if they don't have a new date sometime in January then they probably shouldn't have announced a date to begin with if there was this much work to do in so little time.
Horrible miscommunication between the teams for this to happen. You don't cancel what is basically a new service in the day of release.
I'll wait though, I've been getting my Gamepass from Microsoft rewards so I can't really complain that much. I was just excited to use the service, there's quite a few games I want to try.

Holy shit, terrible advice. Game is definitely worth a go, and the backtracking gets easier as more powers open up.
Are they merging it? I was under the impression that it was just a bundled sub for EA Play using the EA Desktop app (formerly known as Origin), though I don't really know for sure.
This trailer is only 4 days old...
I feel bad for PC gamers looking forward to this.
oh, the games! I've had my fair share of issues with installations
Installations and everything revolving around the W10 Store is basically what keeps me away from Game Pass entirely on PC.

Team Xbox Marketing has easily been one of the worst communicator's this year. It probably does not fall on them and bad communication from another team but just this year :
- Big Xbox Series X event, with focus on Halo releasing this holiday. Two weeks later pushed back until 2021.
- Game Awards video you post about Gamepass with EA Play. Day of going live gets delayed 2021
Announcing it literally on the day it was supposed to go live? Seriously? What a joke
lol what? If you were mostly interested in EA games why didn't you just get EA Play
Well, if they actually did the damn thing right it would be a better value.
