Thanks for taking a moment to share what you have been running into with NFS Unbound.

Have you purchased NFS Unbound? (outside of having access on EA Play)
If you have, which edition of NFS Unbound did you purchase?Date this issue started (is it still happening?)?
Is anything else happening?
Please share any steps you've tried to far to resolve the issue:

Are you getting an error message?: Yes. It said my license can't be validated.
Are you currently subscribed to EA Play?: Yes. All other EA Play games like Madden work for me.
Have you purchased NFS Unbound? (outside of having access on EA Play): No
Date this issue started (is it still happening?)?: Still happening. I got a notification from the PS app on Wednesday that the game was now included with my subscription, and I was able to play the game as part of EA Play on Wednesday night, but the next day, there was a lock next to the EA Play icon when I tried launching the game. Then it said the server couldn't validate the license.
Please share any steps you've tried to far to resolve the issue: I uninstalled the game, but now I can't download it again. When I go to the EA Play section on the PlayStation Store, NFS Unbound is in there, but it only shows a sale price on the standard edition when it should say "Included".
Thanks!
Is NFS Unbound working ANYONE yet?

- @CrashingTiger Those are likely players who have purchased the game on PS5. This issue concerns the ability to play the game as an EA Play subscriber without needing to purchase the full game separately. No need for you (or other posters in this thread) to be rude about it. This is clearly just a technical issue that needs to be worked out either on the PS Store side or the EA side.
All I want at this point is an acknowledgement that this is a known issue being worked on. Just want to say this is also affecting myself. I had purchased EA Play for a month to experience the game and it is still only showing the paid version of the game. Not sure why @CrashingTiger wanted to be confrontational with another user here experiencing similar issues. The PS5 players that are online clearly paid for the game by itself. Not all of us wanted to do that, especially when you can just pay the $4.99 to try Unbound, as well as the other games provided by the service.
@CrashingTiger the point of commenting was? Pretty obvious the people online on nfs for ps are the ones who purchased. And pretty sure people ram on every system lmfao. Got rammed to oblivion on Xbox first time running so def ain’t jus ps players bucko. Salty asf for what?
New Day and we continue with no responses, we will have it someday ? @EA_Illium @EA_Barry
