Attention all EA Play subscribers! It's time to mark your calendars because two popular games are set to exit the EA Play lineup in February 2025. Madden NFL 23 will be leaving on February 15, and F1 22 will follow suit on February 28. EA Play, EA's subscription service, offers a treasure trove of benefits including free game trials, full game access, and more. Available both as a standalone subscription and bundled with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, EA Play provides subscribers with an extensive library spanning both classic and recent releases.
While it's always a bit of a letdown when games depart from subscription services, EA has confirmed the removal of these two titles from the EA Play lineup. Rest assured, the online multiplayer features of these games aren't being shut down just yet, but they will eventually follow. So, if you're a fan, be sure to dive into Madden NFL 23 and F1 22 while they're still accessible through the service.
List of Games Leaving EA Play Soon
- Madden NFL 23 - February 15
- F1 22 - February 28
The departure of Madden NFL 23 and F1 22 isn't the only piece of news for EA fans this February. UFC 3 will see its online services shut down on February 17. While it's uncertain if UFC 3 will remain part of the EA Play lineup post-shutdown, the loss of its online features will certainly impact gameplay. Therefore, if you enjoy UFC 3, you might want to prioritize playing it before the online shutdown.
While the removal of these titles might feel like a setback, there's a silver lining for EA Play subscribers. Newer entries such as Madden NFL 24, F1 23, and UFC 4 will still be available on the service after February. Moreover, excitement is building as UFC 5 is scheduled to join the EA Play lineup on January 14. So, while it's never pleasant to see games leave a subscription service, the availability of newer versions in these franchises can help ease the disappointment.
