EA Play Region Based Language Restrictions

I've signed the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate in Brazil (I'm from there) and got the EA Play access, I'm currently in Poland and tried to play Mirror's Edge Cataclyst, but it only let me download it in Polish or Russian... I understand that EA has some region restrictions when buying a game somewhere that only lets you play it with the regional languages, but shouldn't EA Play have all languages available?

  • Hey @jpghosts, for further info on how your membership works if you move country I would recommend speaking with Xbox support who will be able to provide you with additional info.

    Hey @jpghosts, games available through EA Play will have the same language options and possible restrictions as if you purchased it from the store.

  • But let's suppose I go back to Brazil, will I be stuck with the Polish/Rusian version of the game?
    And how should I proceed? Do I have to quit EA Play, and get it again once in Brazil to it properly assign me the correct game version?

  • When trying to download a game through the EA Desktop client using my EA Play subscription included in the Game Pass for PC, the only language options available for me are Polish and Russian. Yes, I live in Poland, but polish translations are terrible. Game Pass by itself isn't region locked in that way, as I can freely download games in English. All my system settings are English as well. I've changed my language in the EA account options, as well as my region. What else do I need to be able to play games in English?  

  • That's immensely stupid, locking game language to geographical location in this day and age of digital nomads.

    Is there really no way to change my EA region other than physically moving to another country?

    I faced this problem too and found a good solution.
    Just removed EA app.
