EA Play (former EA Access) joins Xbox Game Pass Ultimate/Game Pass for PC at no additional cost
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
Super cool - but I must say, most of EA's games should probably already be free to play, with the amount of micro-transactions in them. I'll probably at least try some of them out, at some stage. I probably wouldn't spend money on EA games, otherwise (I can't even remember the last time I bought an EA game...probably dead space).
List is at the bottom.
EA sucks so much god damn.
everything is Sports
Slap on another $10 and they'll throw in a next generation console as well!
Its incredible value, and covers such a wide range of games.
Yep their new IP this gen was abysmal.
Last gen we got Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Skate and Dead Space from them.
It's a nice value add: EA Play for Xbox is nearly everything they've released on Xbox One, plus a significant portion of their non-Sports games they released for the 360. If it wasn't for the fact that it had an RRP for £20/year, it would be a decent addition. As it is, whatever. Bigger news is EA games coming to Xbox Cloud.
God damn. Gamepass already has been an insane value and this just makes it mindblowingly good. Here's hoping it carries on like this because man is it nice being able to play so many games I probably would have never experienced if I had to separately buy them.
Yep, $15. Still the best value, obviously.
It's also by far the best value on launch day, meaning for the first time ever you can walk out of the store with a console only, and get home with hundreds of games to play with (lots of old ones obviously, but also brand new ones and next-gen exclusives - albeit 3rd party).
Which makes me think the ultimate announcement would be an extended GP(U) trial bundled with the new consoles.
I think 14 days is the default trial, if they could extend that to 3 months it would make their proposition even crazier.
But tbh I'm not holding my breath for this, they already have a great argument with the 299/249 price tag.
Fifa 20 is still selling and charting despite fifa 21 coming out next month.
Yep that why a couple of years ago we used to storm the malls in Santiago. Clothing and electronics were a lot cheaper.
But nowadays we can use Amazon and get stuff from the US. Even then we will never get to pay US prices unless you have the chance to travel
You could sign up for Xbox All Access and lock your price in for two years.
Yep, my kids (and niece) have been really into Sims as part of my subscription to the point where they now specifically want an Xbox in order to play Sims (despite having other consoles where it can also be played).
They should be on PC game pass at the very least since they are already on EA Play on PC.
I know Cosmic Star Heroine isn't included in this (it's available on Origin's PC service) and I imagine other 3rd parties aren't included as well.
Microsoft is doing everything right. I love their new approach, the new consoles, the service.
Congratulations are in order i guess, i hope the market will respond accordingly.

I know everyone has strong opinions of EA, and I agree they are not really consumer friendly, but the reason I see this deal working (for EA) is the number of Game Pass subs are so high that EA sees it as exposure to their games which have a lot of microtransactions in them, so letting someone play a old copy of Madden/FIFA for free is just a opportunity to drag is a little cash from Ultimate Team purchases but also maybe purchase the new versions of the game that haven't been added to EA Play/Access for free to play.
It also helps MS with Game Pass subs by increasing the value, and adding to PC IMO is bigger than the console addition. MS finally following up and delivering on the PC promises. We should all be thankful for Mr. Spencer, cause without him I don't think any of this happens. It is good for gaming overall not just the Xbox brand, as it will push the other companies to do something similar or better, thus pushing Xbox/MS to up the game again.
Also incoming Mass Effect Trilogy announcement, and if that would include the EA Play discount/gamepass discount along with a free trial through the EA Play/Access (possibly, as they didn't do the free trial with the recent Star Wars game).

I don't think I've ever used EA Access for anything other than the discount on EA games and DLC.
I'm glad it's getting rolled in though... one less thing to pay for.

Damn, that's good value. I was going to sub to EA Play when it hit Steam, glad I didn't now lol
I do wish I'd paid for even longer of gamepass ultimate though... got 2 years for £60 and could have done more.
