EA Play

Just signed up for a year of EA Play for £19.99. Its good for me as I don't have any games and you get to play older titles for free. I tried doing it through Steam but it wouldn't accept my debit or credit card, or indeed a PayPal payment.

Went through the EA App and it worked, you also get 10% off games. Pretty impressed, just had a blast at F1 22.

Try Dead Space, the remaster was released this year. I believe it is on EA Play now.

I've got a decent fibre connection so the games download pretty quickly, my PS4 controller works on my PC too using the USB cable, didn't need to do anything it just works including the vibration.

It’s a good job I went through the EA App as if you want to sign up to EA Play Pro you can only do it through the EA App and not Steam, that only allows EA Play standard subscriptions.

Isn't Pro £90/year though?

I've been on the basic plan for years, although I hardly even touched it this year. When I do it's usually just battlefield - I already own 1 and 5 and haven't got around to playing 2042 yet.
Have played a bit of 4 on it though

You need to give Mass Effect remastered a go as well. Amazing series and easily 30+ hours, if not more than 40.

Considered PC Game Pass? It includes standard EA Play subscription.

It’s a toss up between EA Play Pro for £89.99 a year or PC Game Pass for £7.99 a month or £95.88 a year but you do get EA Play which is worth £19.99.

This is the answer. think the entire trilogy took me about 120 hours with all the DLC and side missions.

I'm a huge ME fan but it was so nice playing them all again whilst looking a bit shinier. I think I'll start a renegade run through over Christmas. I just find it easier to stick to paragon... other than punching the reporter.

Waiting for jedi survivor to move to EA play , should be soon i hope

I put in 3.5 hours today mainly F1 22 and FIFA 22, but Grid Legends looks good and Need for Speed Unbound. Also interested in Dead Space and Mass effect. Well worth the £19.99 yearly subscription.

I attach a screen shot of the latest games on EA Play, in order of newest release first. This way you can tell when a new game is added as long as its a fairly recent one. Some good games there.
