If they axe XBL Gold, what happens to the games I've added to my library through Gold?
I have to imagine in this scenario they would just let you keep them. Or tie them to Game Pass.

I have to second Mirrors Edge as that other poster mentioned. Both Catalyst and the original last-gen game should be available. Most of the other games are Bioware RPGs and sports games.Which games from EA, released this gen, would you recommend?
Don't care about Battlefield, FIFA or anything multiplayer. Already played Titanfall 2 campaign (and it's a masterpiece, this game deserves more love).
That's very true. This alone makes the console viableThis along with the Xbox Series S, every Fifa player will get an xbox
It's a year, but you can demo the latest games free for 10 hours and get a 10% discount, as far as I can recall.
Its definitely less than a year. Madden is usually in the vault December/January. Same with NHL. The UFC games get added pretty quick it seems. The last one was in the vault like 4 months maybe less after release. NFS Heat got added pretty quick also. FIFA since it's their most popular game takes the longest to get added and usually is added the following Apr/May after release. Star Wars Fallen order is the in,y game I can remember not having a 10 hour trial and still isn't in the vault almost a year later. I think EA Play added to game pass is huge and I canceled my subscription and can't wait until it's added this fall...
They have only one Golf game this gen, Rory McIlroy. The full game is included here.
Yeah I went back and checked some of the dates games got added to the vault, and people are really underselling this. As you mentioned Madden 20 came about 6 months after launch. I don't care at all about playing Madden on launch day, but now I can play the latest version every year without paying for it? Hell yes.
Sure if you're a dedicated FIFA/Madden/NHL whatever fan who gets it launch day every year, this doesn't cover you. But for casual sports fans who didn't care for the "pay us $60 every year" model, this is awesome.
(Yeah I hear Madden actually sucks now but wouldn't know because I'll never spend $60 on it! But now I get it for free!)
They have only one Golf game this gen, Rory McIlroy. The full game is included here.
If you are a dedicated sports game fan you get 10 hours free play to test the game days before release then a 10% discount buying the game then 10% off all the MTs you'll be making.
Well that much is natural, but it seems as though it needs to be said else anyone that argues against the value proposition for themselves, is accused of downplaying the announcement. Hence the footnote on my post.
I'm quite a fan of game pass on the whole though. It's almost the only way I consume games on PC, just not a fan of EA games in general. Packed with what I believe to be often unethical MTX, and their sports games (FIFA in particular) benefit organisations whom I believe to be quite simply, evil.
The gamepass discount is 20% i think so that probably will still apply to ea games and not just ea plays 10%They have only one Golf game this gen, Rory McIlroy. The full game is included here.

quick, find yearly subs super cheap!
edit: basically can add 18 months of gamepass ultimate for $133 then since 5 1 year subs translate to 20 months of GPU but they take two months off before conversion.
My GPU sub runs out May 2021, and my EA Play on PC Sub runs out Sep 2021. What do I need to do to get lots more of cheap GPU?You can get two years of XLG for $120 (or three for $180) then convert them to GPU at a 1:1 rate for $1.
My GPU sub runs out May 2021, and my EA Play on PC Sub runs out Sep 2021. What do I need to do to get lots more of cheap GPU?
When looking around for EA Play subs, I see only for PS4 and XBOX. Do I need to just buy the console subs or is there somehow a way to buy extra PC time?In your situation, Zynster's suggestion may be the best one. Or keep an eye out for CDkeys deals.
So when will this happen? And how will it work because right now can't see any ea games on gamepass
Massive get but this will be really interesting to see how it impacts consumer sentiment. If you have MS studios and EA games on a subscription model, how much will users who are subscribed be interested in purchasing games from other publishers?
This could be detrimental to attach rate elsewhere and ultimately damaging to content. With that said, it's awesome that you're basically getting more games than anyone can possibly play in a year for basically the cost of 2 games annually

Nah, probably give you some kind of code or something and you'll create a EA Play account or link an existing account. On console there is already an easy to browse section in the my games list for EA Play stuff, right next to other subscription catalogs. On PC you will use origin and they will want to up sell you to EA Play pro.We only know 'Holiday 2020' I'm guessing it'll be the same day as Series X|S launch
I assume, the games just get added to Gamepass, maybe it'll have its own category to easily find the games.
Why would they make you use Origin, a totally different platform? EA Play on Steam uses Steam. They don't make you leave Steam and go over to Origin and use that instead.Nah, probably give you some kind of code or something and you'll create a EA Play account or link an existing account.

Well this is included in Microsoft's sub. I think EA would want something out of this deal. Also Microsoft doesn't exactly have much leverage in the PC Gaming space as Valve.Why would they make you use Origin, a totally different platform? EA Play on Steam uses Steam. They don't make you leave Steam and go over to Origin and use that instead.
You don't think they've worked out things behind the scenes in that regard?Well this is included in Microsoft's sub. I think EA would want something out of this deal.
yes he did.Phil Spencer really made Xbox brand great again huh, I'm loving it. Love the competition, let's see how Sony will respond.
When is this change happening?
Edit: GungJoe I'm thinking the value proposition for me (and maybe you?) is mostly a discount on Apex coins lol, assuming crossplay/crossprogression will work in such a way that I can buy coins on this, buy the battle pass or event cosmetics, and play with them on PS4? That'd be cool.
If you're already a GPU member, you can't do the conversion.The maths is correct, but it will be cheaper to buy a year (or three) of Gold and use the $1 conversion offer.
Formerly known as EA Access and Origin Access, EA Play will bring the best of EA to Game Pass, including:
- More than 60 of EA's biggest and best console and PC games like FIFA 20, Titanfall 2 and Need for Speed Heat, as well as titles from some of EA's most popular franchises like Battlefield, Mass Effect, Skate, and The Sims.
- Not only will EA Play titles be available on console and PC, this holiday, 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.

You'll get to keep the games, I'm almost certain.If they axe XBL Gold, what happens to the games I've added to my library through Gold?
Yeah makes sense It prob would be that. I wonder what kind of deal was cut to get Gamepass in. Def mustve been something ea really liked.This is everything on EA Play on Origin. I suspect we'll only get what they've put on the service on Steam.
This refers to the games being available on Xcloud through Game Pass Ultimate. It's about streaming to Android.So I was reading
