It seems obvious that The Electronic Arts service benefited from being included in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. As of November 10th, the entire EA back catalog has been available on the console at no additional cost with a premium subscription from Microsoft. Precision, however This is the number of people who are actively using EA Play. Players who subscribe to and explore Xbox Game Pass Ultimate direct FIFA or Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order are therefore counted.
Still a very nice number that once again shows the attractiveness of the services that offer an inventory of the games. Probably proof for Xbox is also that offering subscribers to publisher catalogs is an idea that needs to be put into practice. For their part, Xbox Game Pass PC players are still awaiting information about the arrival of EA Play by subscription.
