    The full game is now LIVE on EA Play! If you do not see it available to download, please try power cycling your console and re-open the EA Play App to see it listed under The Vault.

I understand this has to be terribly frustrating and not a great experience. We've alerted our teams here on this. One last thing if you're willing to help us out, are you able to get in by changing the DNS on your console?

We witnessed a similar issue in Madden NFL 20 and this was the fix. See this thread below.

Some players were able to get passed this by clearing the saved game data when managing their game under My Games & Apps on Xbox and deleting any save files locally/cloud (for either console).

Try launching the game through the EA Play app rather than in My Games & Apps.
