Battlefield 2042, GRID Legends, NHL 22, and FIFA 22 are all available as trials right now. Thankfully, your progress carries over to the full version of the game–though, if it’s a newer entry, you’ll have to wait for it to be added to the Play List (or you can buy it directly from EA right away). On the flip side, you can also become an EA Play Pro member, which offers a wider selection of games, many of which are older (and may not necessarily be published by EA), such as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, The Surge 2, and Limbo.īeyond the list of full playable titles, EA Play members can also take advantage of game trials, giving you 10-hour access to the latest releases. The list continues to grow as more titles are released, but depending on your platform, you’ll have access to around 50 to 60 games if you subscribe to the basic version of the membership. The most important EA Play benefit is the ability to enjoy a wide variety of EA games from The Play List (previously called The Vault). If you’re an Xbox player, you might already be subscribed to EA Play. Members will find all the EA Play offerings integrated into the full list of Game Pass titles. In addition, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers actually get an EA Play membership at no additional cost, which is a nice added bonus. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (which includes Xbox Live Gold, and access across Xbox and PC) costs £10.99 / $14.99 monthly, while PS Plus ranges from £6.99 / $9.99 to £13.49 / $17.99 monthly.

When compared to other similar services, EA’s pricing model is fair. However, it's worth noting that your EA Play subscription is limited to a single platform, so you won't be able to reap the benefits across multiple platforms. Of course, purchasing a yearlong membership outright saves you money in the long run. There are two different versions of EA’s subscription service: EA Play and EA Play Pro. Beyond being able to select from EA’s list of games, members also gain access to 10-hour trials, discounts on EA’s digital store, and in-game goodies.
