Game Pass isn't granting you your EA Play privileges

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this Kerim

That's odd. May I know if you tried linking a different EA account to see if that does the trick?
Or, may I know if you tried downloading EA Play on a different machine to see how it goes?

This helps us to isolate the issue a bit more

Because you're located in a region where Game Pass is not available. EA Games like FIFA and Battlefield aren't available in Game Pass itself, but are available through EA Play which is giving by having Ultimate. If EA Play isn't available in Pakistan, that would be why you're not getting those games.

Hello Angel sosa2,

Thank you for sharing this with us and welcome to Xbox Forums.

Based on the information you provided, it appears that you are experiencing an issue with downloading a free trial and being prompted to purchase EA Play even though you are game sharing with someone who has Game Pass/EA Play. I'll be happy to assist you with this.



Firstly, I would like to clarify that Game Pass and EA Play are two separate subscriptions and having one does not automatically grant access to the other. However, if you have an active Game Pass Ultimate subscription, you can access EA Play at no additional cost.



Now, coming to your issue, please know that EA play games are not included in the family sharing feature. of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Only the owner of the account which has the Ultimate subscription can access the EA Play games. This means that even if you are sharing with someone who has an active Xbox Ultimate subscription unless you also have the subscription activated on your account.

If there is any misunderstanding or clarifications you want to add, please let me know.



I hope this information helps.

Kind regards,



Microsoft Community

Hello Neto Marim,

Thank you for your post. I understand you are looking to acquire EA Play with your Game Pass subscription. EA Play Games are available under the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. For more information, please visit this page:

Get EA Play with Xbox Game Pass.

I hope this helps.

From the
Game Pass FAQ:

What will happen to my subscriptions if I already have both Xbox Game Pass Ultimate & EA Play on Xbox?

When the EA Play member benefit unlocks for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members, users who have both Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play purchased through the Microsoft Store will have their EA Play membership canceled and any remaining time over 50 days will
be rounded up and converted to the nearest month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at a ratio of 3:1.

For example, if you have between 50 days and 3 months of EA Play already on your account when EA Play comes to Ultimate, you will have 1 month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate added to your account. If you have between 4 months and 6 months of EA Play already on
your account when EA Play comes to Ultimate, you will have 2 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate added to your account.
