EA Play is the cheapest monthly subscription on this list with a verified USD price, at $5.99 a month or $39.99 a year. Members get unlimited access to the Play List, a collection of EA franchises, plus trials of select new releases for up to 10 hours, monthly in-game rewards and 10% off EA digital purchases such as game downloads, points packs and DLC. EA says the service runs on Xbox, PlayStation, PC through the EA app, Steam and the Epic Games Store, and Mac through the EA app, but a membership applies to one platform only. EA Play Pro, at $16.99 a month or $119.99 a year, adds select new EA games on day one and premium editions. The limits are obvious: you only get EA games, and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass already include EA Play, so Game Pass members should not pay for it twice.
