Microsoft have just announced that a new service joins Game Pass. If it wasn't enough to include Xbox, PC and cloud-based games, from September 17, all games on the EA Play service will also be available to Game Pass users, at no additional cost.

Microsoft has just dropped another bombshell, one that solidifies the idea that Game Pass is the future of video games.

They have reached an agreement with Electronic Arts for Xbox Game Pass subscribers to have access to the EA Play game catalogue, at no additional cost.
