EA Play to Remove 2 Games in Feb 2025

Attention all EA Play subscribers: brace yourselves for some changes coming to the service in February 2025. EA Play, EA's premier subscription service, offers a multitude of benefits including free game trials, full game access, and more. It's available as a standalone subscription, but also comes bundled with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, making it a versatile choice for gamers.

One of the standout features of EA Play is its extensive library, which includes both older classics and the latest releases. However, like all subscription services, the EA Play lineup does evolve over time, and unfortunately, February 2025 will see the departure of two popular titles.

EA has announced that Madden NFL 23 will be removed from the EA Play lineup on February 15, followed by F1 22 on February 28. It's important to note that while these games are being removed from the subscription service, their online multiplayer features are not shutting down immediately. However, they will be unavailable through EA Play after their respective dates, so subscribers should make the most of their time with these games while they can.

List of Games Leaving EA Play Soon

• Madden NFL 23 - February 15
• F1 22 - February 28

In addition to these games leaving the EA Play service, there's more news that might dampen the spirits of EA fans. On February 17, the online features for UFC 3 will be discontinued. It remains unclear whether UFC 3 will continue to be available through EA Play after this date, but its online capabilities will certainly be lost. Subscribers might want to prioritize playing UFC 3 before this date to enjoy its full features.

While the removal of these games from EA Play and the shutdown of UFC 3's online features is disappointing, there's a silver lining. The EA Play service will continue to offer newer entries in these franchises post-February 2025. Subscribers can look forward to playing Madden NFL 24, F1 23, and UFC 4. Moreover, UFC 5 is set to join the EA Play lineup on January 14, 2025, providing fans with the latest installment in the series. Although it's never easy to see games leave subscription services, the availability of newer versions can help ease the transition.
