Feature editor Eric Switzer shares a detailed breakdown of game subscriptions and which subscriptions have the best games, how EA Play Pro really offers a variety of content worth diving into. I am pointing out that you are doing a solid job.

EA TYPES OF GAMES [is] are just a few of the EA Play Pro libraries known for. After game pass [it] has the most diversity and largest selection of any service.

Eric notes that the EA Play Pro library doesn’t have any distinctive themes or patterns, but he also notes that the service’s biggest selling point is its rich collection. This includes the Star Wars series featuring Star Wars Jedi and Jedi Knight games, the Mass Effect series, the Dragon Age series, and more.

The average review score for EA Play Pro games is slightly behind the leader, Xbox Game Pass For PC, in library size, but the median score is 78 with 77.8%. Number of games available with subscription.

If you subscribe to EA Play Pro, you can expect a relatively large library. At the time of writing, the service comes with 200 games. While EA games are clearly the main attraction for potential subscribers, there are also many games that are not published by EA.

You could potentially watch hundreds of hours of gameplay without playing every single game in your library. There are plenty of titles that offer both long campaigns and great replayability. The exact amount of time you put in and spend on the offer will depend on the type of game you like.

Even playing Sea of ​​Solitude, one of the shortest games on EA Play Pro, takes about 8 hours of play time to 100% complete. If you often play sports titles like FIFA or Madden NFL, you can easily log 150+ hours.

For reference, the base EA Play subscription is $4.99/month or $29.99/year. For a while, there was actually a loophole where you could get Game Pass Ultimate for half off with an EA Play subscription, but this has been removed by Microsoft.

There are better options – Ryan Bamsey

There are some great titles in EA’s library, but you’ll have to weigh them against other options and they won’t do well in them. Many of the games on EA Play Pro can be found on alternative platforms, often with greater sales, and alternative packages with more diverse libraries. If you know what you like and all you like is EA’s catalog, it’s probably worth it, but if not, pass.

Only if you already have EA Play – Amanda Hurych

If you took a questionable leap to get EA Play, upgrade to EA Play Pro to get access to new titles. Honestly, that’s all. So it’s only worth it if you’re an avid fan of EA titles.

Not a subscription – Sachi Go

If you have a new game you want to sign up for, or are really excited to get a new EA release, you can try an upgrade for a month. That said, the basic EA Play catalog already offers so much that there just aren’t enough exclusives or add-ons to justify getting it for a year. If you want a robust library, get Xbox Game Pass for PC, which already provides access to EA Play.
