....We just ignoring this? Is EA putting their games directly on the Microsoft Store/Xbox app now?Doesn't really make sense when EA stuff isn't on the store and you have to go through EA desktop to play them...?
They still appear and can be "launched" from the Xbox app, assuming you have EA's launcher also up in the background.Doesn't really make sense when EA stuff isn't on the store and you have to go through EA desktop to play them...?
Right but i don't think you can find them on the Microsoft store usually? Unless they're there but not searchable.They still appear and can be "launched" from the Xbox app, assuming you have EA's launcher also up in the background.
Yep. Didn't play (or pay for) the remaster when it came out. Thank you Game Pass + EA Play backlog!
I think it's this. I remember wondering this same thing after seeing windows store entries for EA games like this right before EA play came to game pass for PC, but they ended up going through the EA desktop app. If you search for Mass Effect Legendary in the windows store right now, all that comes up is the xbox version. I think they have hidden entries for these games to make the backend stuff work & so they'll show up right in the game pass PC app.Right but i don't think you can find them on the Microsoft store usually?

Welp, that makes sense. EA Desktop continues not to though. Wasn't that supposed to replace Origin? Yet new games arrive and get marketed as Origin games with no mention of EA Desktop. Very weird.I think it's this.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition is one of those game that it's worth to buy at full price. There are so many awful remasters out there, it's good that the best trilogy of them all got the work it deserved.
I wish we would get MS achievements out of these EA Play games. Also, the EA client is garbage. Almost as bad as the Windows Store one.
For EA Play games on PC.You don't get achievements? I just started using the xbox app for PC and I got achievements for Halo.
yes, they're normal xbox games. The EA Play on PC situation is different because they don't actually use the microsoft store/xbox infrastructure. Instead it directs you to EA's desktop client. It's kind of janky but there are benefits - EA Play on Game Pass for PC actually gives you access to the full library of EA Play games, the same as if you subscribed through EA directly, instead of the more limited library that you get with EA Play on console or through Steam
I believe EA Play came to PS4 awhile ago in some capacity. Would the Mass Effect Legendary Edition also be made available there?
