The Xbox Game Pass is now expanding with 86 new games from EA. Among them are many multiplayer titles and MMOs. We at MeinMMO present to you the most interesting and trending multiplayer titles that have been newly added.
How can you get the new games from EA? As previously announced, starting November 10, 2020, there will be the opportunity to play games from EA’s subscription service EA Play also through Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass. Additionally, 86 new games are joining the Pass. You can play them for free while your subscription for the Game Pass is active. You can find the complete selection of EA Play games here on the Game Pass homepage.
However, to utilize EA Play, you must subscribe to the most expensive Game Pass, the Game Pass Ultimate for €12.99 per month. The cheaper versions do not include EA Play games.
To help you make the decision for or against the Game Pass, we have listed the most interesting multiplayer games from EA Play that are now available in the Game Pass.
This is how we chose the best multiplayer games from EA Play: In our selection, we particularly paid attention to the fact that the games are also current. So don’t be surprised that games like FIFA 15 or Battlefield 1943 do not appear on the list. Another criterion is the overall quality of the game. The order of the games listed here is random and does not reflect any ranking.
