EA Sports FC 25 Joins Game Pass Ultimate via EA Play

Alright, so here’s the scoop on what’s new with EA Sports FC 25 — it’s hitting the EA Play’s Play List. Let’s get a little chaotic here: It’s like playing soccer with a twist, and you can snag it on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Xbox Cloud. Did I mention you can also stream it on Samsung smart TVs via the Xbox app? I mean, who knew your TV could do all that, right?

So, if you’re the kind of person who lives for last-minute goals and unexpected victories — you know, the kind that makes your heart race — you can dive right into 5v5 Rush with your crew. And let’s not forget Clubs and all those other game modes that have strategic layers (I’d say it’s like peeling an onion, but without the tears).

Anyway, so what’s the big deal with FC 25? Besides featuring top-notch players from leagues around the world, there’s this funky new AI stuff that’s making characters move more like, well, human beings and not just pixels on a screen. It’s like they borrowed some brains from real-world players — crazy, huh?

Oh, and don’t get me started on the rewards! Talk about stacking goodies. Limited-time packs that buff up your game and recurring stuff like draft tokens. Maybe there’s a catch here, maybe there’s not, but that Supercharge Pack sounds tempting.

And memberships — yeah, they give you more bang for your buck. EA Play is bundled with Game Pass Ultimate, so if you’re tight on cash but big on gaming, it’s a pretty sweet deal. At least, that’s what they claim. Saves you 10% on EA purchases, but I have yet to figure out what I’d buy with that saving. Maybe upgrade my virtual skills? Who knows.

Oh, I almost forgot — if you love kickin’ it not just in soccer but also in battlefield skirmishes or on the football gridiron: Madden NFL has you covered too. You know, the way they throw in a mix of testosterone and tactics. All for just $5.99 a month! Feels like they’re trying to lure us into some gaming paradise.

For anyone who’s detail-obsessed… there’s more fine print at EA’s website about member benefits and the like. It’s all pretty straightforward, well, unless you don’t read the terms—which let’s be honest, who really does?

That’s the round-up. Consider jumping in if it tickles your fancy. Or toss it aside for another day of binge-watching Netflix. Either way, the choice is yours.
