Microsoft has announced EA Play will no longer be joining Game Pass for PC this month, as was originally planned, with the two services now expected to join hands some time in 2021.<\/p>\n

In a short statement<\/a> released through its Xbox Wire news service, Microsoft wrote, “When we originally set out to write this blog post, which would announce the availability of EA Play on PC with Xbox Game Pass, it looked a little bit different. Unfortunately, what had been a celebratory post is now one asking for a little more patience.”<\/p>\n

Despite initially announcing<\/a> EA Play – which includes access to EA’s library of games and early trials for new releases – would be made available to Game Pass for PC and Ultimate subscribers in December, Microsoft says it has now “made the decision to delay [launch] until 2021.”<\/p>\n
