EA Play, EA’s game entry service, will be available on PC from Thursday, March 18 at 5pm as a benefit to Xbox Game Pass subscribers, Microsoft and EA announced Wednesday.
EA Play has been included in Xbox Game Pass for consoles since November, and it would originally be available to PC subscribers in December. But on the day it would be accessible, Microsoft announced that EA Play would only come to Xbox Game Pass for a PC in 2021.
EA’s subscriber service is available for free to Xbox Game Pass PC or Ultimate subscribers. If you want to play an EA game through Game Pass as soon as the EA Play benefit is available, you need the Xbox app for Windows 10 and the EA Desktop app. Microsoft has also released a handy video that walks you through how to get everything set up.
EA Play contains over 60 EA games, including Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Titanfall 2, and titles of Madden NFL and The Sims franchises. You can also play ten hour trials of some EA games like FIFA 21.
