Microsoft Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Expands To Include EA Play
Microsoft and EA have recently announced that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate & Xbox Game Pass for PC members will soon be receiving an EA Play membership at no additional cost starting this holiday. EA Play formally EA Access & Origin Access is the game subscription service from Electronic Arts which grants access to a library of over 60 EA games along with providing a variety of perks such as early access and discounts on new games. This means Ultimate members can enjoy EA Play on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, and Windows 10 PCs, while Xbox Game Pass for PC members get EA Play on Windows 10. Microsoft seems to be going all-in with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate with the launch of next-generation consoles with the recently announced console/subscription bundles and the android xCloud support.Announcement Video:

Every time I see cloud services merge or go wild on pricing... I look at my Netflix sub, which has increased in price about 20% over the course of two years.
Nuff said, I think. So, this is how MS feeds the Xbox hype train... with subscription updates. The writing's on the wall. Beware
why do you even have it if you're so clearly against these on demand services, maybe the cost benefit was that huge when utilizing the catalog instead of buying individual titles for dozens of dollars total every month, have the cake & hate it at the same time
(netflix even lets you login to multiple devices at the same time, further improving its value)
this is an unusually large amount of game titles available on multiple platforms (even pc), especially since new ones are included at their release... it's not a new thing being launched this fall, the competition's psplus has been around for exactly one decade adding multiple games per month
