Re: Confusion About EA Play Release Date

We’re possibly just over 24-25 hours away from the game coming out and we still don’t have an official answer from EA.

Only EA.

    Keep calm and relax. It‘s weekend so people are out of office. It will either start at the same time as the Deluxe edition or some hours earlier. FIFA early Access was available Monday afternoon CET. If this happens be happy and enjoy. Anyway it will be available soon 😉

    Yeah sorry I derailed the thread a bit with HUT stuff before.

    Galway team is out for a bit and it's also a NA holiday tomorrow so staff posts will unfortunately be rare for the time being.

    At best early access might start roughly 30-35 hours from now

    @DaRosens 

     Early Access as in EA Play or the X-Factor Edition?

    The incompetence of this company is absurd. Can’t even get a simple answer about when the game comes out.

    Dude, we want an OFFICIAL ANSWER. Stop acting like you’re a reporter that has inside sources already. The fact that you said “in theory…” means that you were basically guessing everything this entire time and didn’t have any credible sources to back it up.

    Thanks for wasting my time, as well as others’.

    @DaRosens, Buddy, why are you in such a hurry? you will have a whole year to play the new version of the game. I'm sure you'll play for a few hours and you'll get bored. so why now take it out on employees who work tirelessly, hoping to get an answer: will the game be released on October 10 or 11?

    From what I’ve seen the EA Play early release is Monday October 10th, the NHL X-Factor edition is out at midnight Tuesday October 11th,  and the standard edition is out midnight on Friday October 14th. If you live on the west coast then these times may push up to 9pm local time, I’m not sure since I live in the Boston area.

    If you live overseas then I also don’t know exactly when the games will release, whatever the normal release time is for digital pre-orders are should also apply here.

    The process to download the trial on PS5 is not necessarily clear.  if you go to the NHL 23 page in the PSN store it will still show the expected download time as the 12th.  BUT, if you go to the EA Play section under Subscriptions and select NHL 23 under the trials section the page will have a separate button to download the trial.

    Hope this helps someone.
