Attention all EA Play subscribers! It's time to mark your calendars because two popular games are set to leave the service in February 2025. Madden NFL 23 will be departing on February 15, while F1 22 will follow suit on February 28. EA Play, EA's subscription service, offers its members a range of benefits including access to free game trials, full games, and more. Whether you're subscribed to EA Play standalone or through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, these changes will impact your gaming library.
The EA Play library is a treasure trove of both classic and recent titles, providing a diverse gaming experience for its subscribers. However, like all subscription services, it's subject to periodic updates, which means some games will occasionally be removed. In this case, both Madden NFL 23 and F1 22 will no longer be available through EA Play come February 2025. While the online multiplayer features of these games are not shutting down immediately, they will eventually follow suit. Therefore, if you're a fan of these titles, now's the time to enjoy them to the fullest.
List of Games Leaving EA Play Soon
- Madden NFL 23 - February 15
- F1 22 - February 28
Unfortunately, the bad news doesn't stop there. UFC 3's online services will be discontinued on February 17, 2025. While it's not yet confirmed if UFC 3 will remain available on EA Play after this date, the loss of its online features will significantly impact the gaming experience. EA Play subscribers might want to prioritize playing UFC 3 before this change takes effect.
Though it's always disappointing to see beloved games leave a subscription service, there's a silver lining. EA Play will continue to offer newer entries in these franchises, including Madden NFL 24, F1 23, and UFC 4 even after February. Moreover, UFC 5 is set to join the EA Play lineup on January 14, 2025. So, while saying goodbye to some favorites is never easy, the availability of newer versions can help ease the transition.
