Re: I have EA access. Will i need to buy madden 21 or will it be on there

@questin18 

Madden NFL 21 is not included within EA Access as a game within The Vault where you'll get unlimited play, however you'll have 10 hours of game time of Madden NFL 21 starting August 21st. Once you use up the 10 hours of game time, you'll need to purchase Madden NFL 21 to continue playing it.

    When can EA Play users for xbox one expect to see Madden 21 in the vault for free?  

    Or maybe an easier question to answer:  How long after Madden 20 was released was it available for free in the vault?

    There's no official timeline for that. It could before February or after. Based off what's been happening from a historical standpoint, the game eventually hits The Vault around February or later.

    If you have EA Play Pro on PC you'll have the full game right now for an unlimited amount of time (pending you have an active membership). The Vault is a library of games that you have access to which is when our newest releases eventually go into at a later time for those that do not have EA Play Pro.

    @Dababy12345678 Do you still need help with this?

    Try deleting the game and reinstall it again through the EA Play hub. Keep in mind only the EA Play membership owner can access it, even if you're sharing the EA Play membership on the console.
  • It usually hits the vault every year shortly (2 or 3 weeks) after the super bowl.  So I'd say late February early March. 

  • this is driving me nuts madden 20 became free jan 30th i’ve been waiting for so long for this game to be free for us we have waited long enough if this game doesn’t come into the vault soon i’m canceling ea access this is crazy
