Will EA Play automatically be available for Xbox Game Pass members? How do I get started?
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members will automatically receive the entitlement for EA Play on console and can browse and download games through the Game Pass experience on your console.
To get started on PC, Ultimate and PC Game Pass members will first need to link their Xbox and EA accounts and make sure they have the EA app installed on their PC. The Xbox app on Windows PC will walk you through the setup process.
If you have played an EA Play game on your Xbox console, your Xbox and EA accounts are likely linked, so you should ensure you sign-in to the Xbox app on Windows PC with that same Xbox account you use for console.
Once you have installed EA app and link your accounts you will be able to browse the EA Play catalog and download games through the Xbox app on Windows PC via EA app.
If you are having trouble with linking your Xbox & EA accounts, you can find additional support here.
How do I stop recurring billing?
The recurring billing feature is switched on by default, meaning you'll automatically pay for a new subscription period when your current period ends.
You can switch recurring billing off and back on through your Microsoft account or from your console. Learn more about stopping recurring billing at Microsoft Support.
