Microsoft strikes a deal with EA! Checkout the details below.
Electronic Arts is excited about the next milestone in our ongoing commitment to give players more choice on how to access the games and in-game benefits they love.
Since November, EA Play has been available to all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members on console and as you may have already seen, starting tomorrow, March 18 at 2:00 PM PT, Xbox Game Pass PC and Ultimate members can also get more from their favorite EA games. Through the EA Desktop app, our next-generation PC platform that’s currently in open beta, and the Xbox app for Windows 10, members will have access to EA Play, and receive exclusive in-game challenges and rewards, a collection of outstanding games in The PlayList, 10% savings on purchases of EA digital content, and trial access to full versions of select new releases.
We’re bringing these benefits to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC players through the smarter, faster, more connected experience of the EA Desktop app. This platform was designed from the ground up with player feedback in mind. The EA app features Quick Access and Play Now which allows you to get into your games in a matter of seconds. A streamlined homescreen design with highlighted recommendations also lets you easily find what to play next, helps you get more from your games and lets you know what your friends are up to. Finally, you’ll also have powerful, easy-to-understand tools to help you manage how you and your family members play, including the ability to track time spent in your games and zero-default spend limits on microtransactions.
We’re excited to welcome players joining EA Play from Xbox Game Pass and we welcome their feedback as we continue to refine and evolve the EA app, which is still in beta.
