Microsoft’s popular subscription service, Game Pass, continues to expand by the day. EA’s popular football games series will be added to the library of FIFA’s latest game, FIFA 21 Xbox Game Pass and EA Play subscription services. Starting May 6, players will be able to access FIFA 21 from their PS and Xbox consoles as well as the PC platform.
As we mentioned in one of our previous reports, Knockout City, mario kart live developer’s team-based multiplayer game released by EA, will also be available to subscribers via EA Play and Xbox Game Pass as soon as it is released on May 21.
In March, Madden joined NFL 21 and Star Wars: Squadrons, followed by NHL 21 in April. Now it’s being added to the library of the FIFA 21 Xbox Game Pass service. At the same time, as you know earlier this month, for the first time, a PlayStation Studios game was added to Microsoft’s subscription service. Although MLB The Show 21 was added to the subscription service, it was also suggested that it performed best in the next generation on the PS5 console.
Sony said the decision on microsoft’s first-day game on the subscription service was made by licensee MLB. “This decision presents a unique opportunity to make MLB The Show the leading brand of baseball video games,” the statement said.
Since November 2020, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers on the console have been able to access games in the EA Play library at no additional cost. In mid-March, EA Play was added to the Xbox Game Pass system for PC users.
It seems that Microsoft is very committed to expanding its Game Pass library and hosting more games within it. Rumors were that the new Battlefield game would be available to subscribers of the service from day one.
