Way back in September 2020, it was announced that EA Play, EA's subscription based service, would be added to Xbox Game Pass at no additional cost. This was originally supposed to happen for PC Game Pass subscribers in December 2020. It was then pushed back into some time in 2021.
During that time, console owners on the Xbox platform were able to enjoy the benefits of EA Play in their Game Pass subscriptions, but the PC release was nowhere to be seen. Fortunately, that's about to change.
Come March 18, EA Play will begin rolling out to Xbox Game Pass for PC and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. This rollout will begin at 5PM (ET). The inclusion of EA Play will provide access to over 60 EA games that are offered through the EA Play service. For a look at all of the games included in the service, look no further.
Game Pass Subscribers on the PC will have to install the EA desktop client if it's not already installed. Once installed, you need to link your EA and Xbox accounts in order to access the service. Once jumping through these hoops, you will then have access to the EA Play games through the Game Pass app on the PC.
We’re excited to share with you that starting tomorrow, March 18 at 2:00 p.m. PT, Xbox Game Pass PC and Ultimate members will be able to enjoy all the benefits of EA Play on Windows 10, including:
• More than 60 of EA’s biggest and best PC games like Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, FIFA 20, Titanfall 2 and Need for Speed Heat, as well as titles from some of EA’s most popular franchises like Battlefield, Madden NFL, Command & Conquer, and The Sims.
