Electronic Arts and Microsoft are teaming up to bring EA Play to Game Pass subscribers on the PC. Starting March 18 at 5 pm EDT, Game Pass subscribers on PC will have access to EA Play’s complete game library at no additional cost, Microsoft announced on Wednesday.
EA Play’s PC library has more than 60 games, including Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, FIFA 20, as well as games from the Madden and Battlefield series, and the new addition of Star Wars: Squadrons. EA Play also includes monthly rewards for certain EA games, including Ultimate Team FIFA packs and a weapon amulet for Apex Legends. Finally, EA Play members also receive free 10-hour trials of certain games, including FIFA 21.
To access this new content as soon as it becomes available on March 18, PC players will have to download the new EA Desktop application and sign in with an EA account – or create a new one. After that, players will be able to connect their Xbox account and gain access to EA Play.
EA Play will be available to Xbox Game Pass PC subscribers and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. The Xbox Game Pass PC costs $ 9.99 a month and provides access only to the PC version of the Game Pass, while the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate costs $ 14.99 and gives players access to the console and PC versions of the service.
