Nice. Also for PC, even better. EA has a lot of good games form previous generations in thier vault and I own only some of them. And now I donāt even need to change discs 
i think EA and MS saw the n. of subs dwindling down since the arrival of Gamepass on both Xbox and PC and said fuck it, letās sit down at a table
add Xcloud and you got a stew going (since EA was looking into cloud gaming iirc)
HOLY MOLY
This is amazing and MS delivering value on all fronts.
Game pass is one of the revolutionary things in gaming.
This is absolutely huge news.
Think of the casual market. Customers can pick up an Xbox Series S and get into next gen for $299 with games like Madden and Fifa ready to download when you get home.
The industry is changing.
I donāt think Madden or Fifa are gonna be there day 1 besides the 10 hour trials. Still huge.
Loving seeing MS going for the kill
Game Pass keeps getting better and better. While 25 Euros per year is not that much in itself, now Game Pass can boast the following franchises (and more) in its line-up:
FIFA
Madden
Star Wars
Battlefield
Need For Speed
Burnout
Dragon Age
Mass Effect
Thatās a big deal when it comes to advertising the service.

And absolutely INCREDIBLE value.
You can order either console on Xbox All-Access and have GamePas Ultimate + EAPlay and have access to hundreds of games on Day 1 for less than $40!
No competition can even be in the same universe of that value.

Yes, it truly is amazing value. Itās kinda insane, haha.
For me personally it doesnāt mean much, because I already long played and finished the great games that are on there. Except maybe for the latest NFS, but surely thatās not on there already?
How fast after release do games end up there?

I just looked into this quickly.
NHL 20 came out in September and joined EA Access in April around playoff time.
It looks like Fifa did something similar. They released in September and became free in May.
So it looks like they join the program around the 6 - 8 month mark?
The fans who want their games on release day will be able to purchase them outright at a slightly discounted rate and their titles often come with a 10 hour trial you can use before making the purchase.
For me this is perfect; I can wait half the season and then casually dive into these games.
This is awesome lol.
The best part about the surprise announcements is that the press has no time to downplay them.
I think it has ended up for the best for Ms that everything leaked ahead of time.

Yeah thatās pretty damn good. I already know if Dragon Age turns out to be great that I canāt wait a few months, Iāll buy it, but the discount is always nice!
I can see why Sony were according to Jeff Grubb not happy with EA
This deal is pretty huge. Iām already fine playing last years FIFA the value add to the current gamepass lineup is crazy.
And you can access these games on mobile as well? MS is firmly planting their flag.
I recall when people laughed at the idea of MS going for a Netflix of gaming. Theyāve shown they were pretty serious. Hopefully this has solidified that they are not messing around.

This is huge for me and I couldnāt be more happier with my gamepass subscription. Microsoft basically locked me as a customer for the next gen. Iāll probabky buy PS5 too but itās going to be in a few years after the price goes down and thereās plenty of exclusives, but first itās going to be xbox.
When is this happening? I canāt really seem to find that info.
I saw Holiday 2020. So, like always : soonā¢.
