In the meanwhile, if you're interested in playing sports games on Xbox, including football games like the FIFA franchise, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate continues to be a great option. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes regular Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Game Pass for PC and EA Play, which means that EA games always join the subscription sometime after launch.
