EA Play is a service-within-a-service perk for Xbox Game Pass subs on consoles and, starting tomorrow, PC too
If you aren’t sure where to start with this stuff, there’s a minor hassle involved before you can access your free-with-a-membership games. You’ll have to download theEA Desktop app, log in with a current or newly-created EA Account, and link it with your Xbox account. I know, I know. Too many steps.
That said, the actual process ispretty straightforward: just try to install an EA Play game through the Xbox app on PC and the system will point you in the right direction as far as the EA app is concerned.
You can find an up-to-date list of included EA Play gamesover here; highlights includeJedi: Fallen Order,Titanfall 2,A Way Out,Unravel Two,Spore, and 10-hour new game trials (click “See Games” in the Xbox app). All told, there’s 60-plus PC games. Many aren’t what you’d consider “recent,” but they hold up fine.
If you have Xbox Game Pass for PC or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, knock yourself out. I’ve said it before, but more often than not, “renting” EA games is my preferred method. Game Pass makes it easy.
