PC Game Pass (was Xbox Game Pass for PC)

Coming to PC as well not sure if today but its Bethesda (MS are about to own them!) so expect it sooner rather than later!

It wasn't announced for PC though. Or Android. It's not like Doom Eternal, where a Windows Store port was announced at the same time as the GP announcement. Bethesda aren't known to be porting Skyrim over to UWP. So it could be weeks, months, or even years before it shows up.

When it shows do not expect mod support!
 
Lol.
You subbed to game pass just for ea play games? We haven't even been told which games are coming to game pass yet - why didn't you just sub to ea play instead if you weren't interested in anything else?

Because they released EA play for gamepass. When I subbed I thought 'gamepass' was the same across PC and consoles, and the games I wanted to try out are part of EA play. Gamepass was also on offer so went for that.

The games coming are whatever's in EA Play, why would it be any different?
 
Game pass hs never been indentical across platforms. there are a number of games available on both, of course, and some of them are even 'play anywhere' titles that allow you to start on one platform and continue your game on another, but there are also games on the consoles not available on pc and visa versa and there's no guarantee at all that ea play will offer the same games on both.

I guess I just don't understand why you subbed to game pass if you were only interested in ea play when ea play hasn't been made available on game pass for the pc yet.

Gamepass was also on offer so went for that.

So you paid what, a pound?

I based my decision on the fact that they announced (back in September) that EA Play will become available for PC early December. Also, the just said EA Play, so fair to assume it's just EA Play without exclusions. I am aware that the Gamepass library varies between console and PC but in this case they announced EA Play.


So you paid what, a pound?
Yes I did. What difference does it make? They advertised an offer and they also announced a major expansion to their library for early in December, which is what drove me to buy it. They now (1 hour prior to release) said 'oops, next month we'll have news'. The selection of games now on PC is fairly poor (for me), which is why when I saw EA Play coming in early December and wanting to try some titles, I said, why not, give it a go.

Now, what's gonna happen is I won't get to play any games or very little games in January onwards as I'll be in work; so will probably never renew.
 
I suspect it’s to do with the new EA Desktop app not being ready. There was no mention of Origin anywhere in previous articles so I expect EA were expecting to have it out of beta by now.
 
Well that's annoying!

Was looking forward to star wars fallen order over the xmas break.

Same.

I've avoided playing it on Xbox for a month, as I'd sooner play the better looking PC version than the low-quality One S version. Might just give in and play it on Xbox now; it's not like they've given any indication as to how long it'll be.
 
Damnit! I think Microsoft and EA have have calculated that a £1 subscription for 3 months, is actually worth less than £xxx worth of games.
