I’ve signed up for ultimate game pass and it won’t let me play any EA Access games even...

Game pass ultimate does state it is the ultimate game pass and xbox live gold but when I signed up it didnt give me EA access unless I purchased it but its definitely worth the 4.99 a month.

EA play is only included with game pass ultimate. Any EA games that are in game pass itself must be accessed via their app with your connected account

Hi RWADU,

As mentioned above EA access is completely seperate from Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, so won’t affect or cancel your subscription.

Information on EA access:

https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/entertainment/xbox-one/live-apps/ea-access

Infomation on Game pass ultimate:

https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/live/gold/upgrade

Both subscriptions allows you to access a libary of games, giving you exclusive game discounts if you decide to purchase them.

Any questions I’m happy to help 😊

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,

Do you have Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate? You need Ultimate to access EA Play for free on the console.
