Cancel EA play after game purchase

I think I’m going to buy F1 22 with ea play discounted price on steam as my 10 hours trial has finished but the question is if I cancel my ea subscription after I buy the game will it effect my game ...

Hi @nocx121,

You will be able to play any games you had access to through EA Play while you have an active EA Play Subscription. If you unsubscribe, you won't have access to those games until you have an active subscription again. The games progress will not be erased when you unsubscribe (as long as you hold onto those save files/don't delete the files) and you'll be able to pick up where you left off when you resubscribe.

If you'd like to continue playing one of the games unlocked through the EA Play Subscription after unsubscribing, you would need to buy the game. The progress gained during the EA Play subscription would carry over then too.

I hope that answered your question, let me know if you had other questions. I'll also share this FAQ on EA Play as it might come in handy for you.

@EA_Lanna thank you for the answer, as F1 22 is the only game I’m going to play I think I will unsubscribe ea play and buy the game itself. I don’t want to spend 5$ every month for subscription. It’s nice to hear my progress would be carried over too.

  If you read the reply above I don't think it actually answered your question. It didn't cover what would happen if you bought the game whilst you had an EA Play membership but then cancelled it as far as I can see. I'd be very surprised if you lost access to the game myself but I'd suggest you ask again to clarify.

    Hi @Ultrasonic_77,
    
    Right, I can see how that wouldn't have answered it fully. I totally missed the bit about purchaseing it while having an active sub, sorry about that.
    
    I'll clarify: The games you purchase using the EA Play discount that an active membership gives, remain yours to keep and play even after the membership expire.
