Earlier this month, Microsoft announced that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC members will be provided with an EA Play membership at no additional cost. Now, just in time for the official launch of the Xbox Series S and Series X, Microsoft has shared more details about the same. As per the company, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will be able to access the complimentary EA Play subscription starting 10 November. The next-generation Microsoft gaming consoles will also be released the same day.
This means, that an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription will soon include access to Microsoft’s library of games, an Xbox Live Gold subscription, xCloud and EA Play. The Ultimate subscription is priced at Rs 699 per month, and the PC membership is priced at Rs 489 per month. It costs $14.99 per month. Do note, if you just subscribe to the Xbox Game Pass at Rs 489 per month, you won’t get EA Play.
