As of March 9th, 2021 the official Xbox site still advertises Gamepass Ultimate as including EA Play for PC. Anyone saying it's not a bait and switch and scam on Microsofts side isn't the brightest bulb in the bunch. When I do not receive 100% of what is being advertised to me on the sign-up page, it is a scam and false advertising. Nowhere on the entire Gamepaass Ultimate  sign-up page does it state EA Play is currently not available for PC. This is 100% on Microsoft.

    Sixth questions down is literally stating that game pass members can access EA play on PC

    And from EA: EA Play and Xbox Game Pass

    Another set of instructions on installing the desktop app along with false claims that your game pass membership is good.

    Scam is maybe a strong word, but it's definitely not delivering on what was promised, and that's not on. If you think that behavior is in any way tolerable, you're part of the problem.

      On the Microsoft FAQ link: https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/help/subscriptions-billing/manage-subscriptions/ea-play-with-xbox-game-pass-FAQ

      They state in the 2nd question that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members can enjoy EA Play on console now. Coming soon, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC members will receive EA Play on PC at no additional cost.

      Also, in all their other posts they use future tense. "You'll need to create", "You'll have access" etc.

      I was also tricked by this, because I expected EA Play to be available on PC, with the Ultimate, and clearly it isn't. Let's also mention that the Microsoft support page is just atrocious, informaiton is hard to find, and in a true Microsoft fashion, the found information is often useless.

      And a big D- for both EA and Microsoft for not communicating about this matter openly. This thing should not be this difficult to find out and understand.

        So am I correct in thinking then that having game pass on pc DOES NOT allow me to use the EA games for free as it would on my xbox?~

        This is a real shower of excrement if so. I was looking forward to some VR squadrons. Might as well install the EA hub bloatware then....
