It’s an offer that’s sure to turn heads: until November 17, PlayStation Plus subscribers can access Hundreds of EA games for just €0.99via the EA Play service. The opportunity to (re)dive into cult titles without breaking the bank.
Normally billed at €5.99 per month, the EA Play subscription is offered at a discounted price for one week. For less than one euro, PS5 and PS4 users can discover a varied selection of the catalog ofElectronic Artsstarting with Mass Effect, Dead Space, It Takes Two or even Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order.
A month of games for less than a coffee
Available on PlayStation since 2019, EA Play gives access to most of the EA catalog, with the exception of the most recent titles. As the site explains: “This service gives you access to all games published by Electronic Arts and playable on modern systems, with the exception of a few recent titles.”
You will therefore not yet be able to test Battlefield 6 nor EA Sports FC 26but the classics are indeed there, and more than enough to occupy your long autumn evenings. This 83% reduction is a godsend for curious or nostalgic players, provided they understand how the licenses work.
A trap to avoid for PlayStation Plus subscribers
A word of caution is in order, however. Activating a game already obtained via PlayStation Plus Essential on EA Play may cause an unexpected effect: the deletion of your original license. “This means that if you let your EA Play subscription expire while still maintaining your PlayStation Plus Essential subscription, you will no longer have access to the games you previously obtained through PS Plus.”
In other words, if you had already claimed It Takes Two, Dead Space Or Mass Effect Legendary Edition via PS Plus, avoid activating them again via EA Play, otherwise you risk permanently losing access to them once the offer expires.
For other titles, this offer remains a rare opportunity to explore the EA universe at a lower cost. And at €0.99, the risk seems reasonable… provided you read the fine print carefully.
