Madden 21 & Star Wars Squadrons Are Coming To EA Play In March

[BrownBear22]

The EA Play lineup for March 2021 will bring two major titles to the collection - Madden NFL 21 and Star Wars Squadrons. Slowly but surely, EA Play has grown in terms of the value it offers subscribers. Electronic Arts rebranded its online services by combining EA Access and Origin Access late last year, placing them both under the EA Play umbrella to further streamline the membership offerings.

Available across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox devices, EA Play boasts a price tag of $5 per month. There are quite a few worthwhile benefits for subscribers to take advantage of, too, such as the 10 percent discount that applies to all EA digital purchases - games and DLC included. In addition, members are able to play up to 10 hours of select new releases from the publisher at no extra cost. And, perhaps most notably, the service's offerings pack in a collection of EA-published titles. EA Play added Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order in November 2020, for example. Next month's additions are arguably just as exciting.

In a post on the official Electronic Arts website, the publisher revealed Madden NFL 21 and Star Wars: Squadrons will join the service next month. The sports title will go live on EA Play come March 2; meanwhile, the Star Wars-branded space adventure is listed as "coming in March" sans a specific date. EA also plans to add NHL 21 to the subscription service sometime in April, according to the post. Finally, on March 26, EA Play Pro members can embark on a wild journey in Hazelight Studios' next project - It Takes Two.

 

These are great additions to EA Play, each offering a different experience that will certainly appeal to someone. Better yet, the above list is joining an already rather robust collection of titles. In addition to the aforementioned Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, EA Play currently has in its collection the likes of Need For Speed Heat, Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville, Battlefield V, and A Way Out.

EA Play especially managed to make waves late last year, upon the publisher's announcing a partnership with Xbox. The deal specifically benefits Xbox Game Pass subscribers, who are now able to access EA Play at no additional charge. Game Pass on PC should've also received the benefits of EA Play in 2020; however, the rollout of EA Play on PC with Xbox Game Pass was postponed to an unspecified date in 2021.

Madden NFL 21 is out now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Star Wars: Squadrons is available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One platforms.
