If you have a hankering to play A Way Out, Burnout Paradise Remastered, or Battlefield V then good news, you can pick up a subscription to EA Play for PlayStation for just 79 pence via the PlayStation Store. You will be subscribed to the service and charged the regular price of £3.99 the next month but you can cancel at any time so this is a very cheap way of trying out the games on offer.

EA Play’s induction into the Xbox Game Pass for PC game library has been delayed until sometime in 2021.
Writing on the Xbox blog, they say:
When we originally set out to write this blog post, which would announce the availability of EA Play on PC with Xbox Game Pass, it looked a little bit different. Unfortunately, what had been a celebratory post is now one asking for a little more patience: We made the decision to delay until 2021 the release of EA Play on PC as part of the Xbox Game Pass for PC and Ultimate memberships.
We established this partnership with Electronic Arts because they are as passionate as we are about helping people and communities discover great games, and we knew we could provide a great experience for members by working together. In order to deliver on that, we need more time to provide the Xbox Game Pass experience.

It’s the same price via Steam too for those on PC who want a head start before it joins Gamepass.

This offer has been on for about 3 weeks already. I signed up and have tried Jedi Fallen Order (couldn’t get on with it), now I’m playing through the BFV story
For 79p you can’t really go wrong!

My must-plays with this sub are Sea of Solitude, Fe, A Way Out, and the Unravel games. I’m not really fussed by EAs big releases these days due to their heavy monetisation over the past 5 or so years.
However, I did pick up BF V second hand recently and quite enjoyed the story, though thought the multiplayer was lacklustre. The BF series is one of only a few that I have a proper interest in the online so I’m looking forward to what BF 6 might offer later this year, but won’t hold my breath.

Mirror’s Edge Catalyst is also worth a punt if you played and enjoyed the original.
