No interest in an Xbox pass but I picked Tittyfall 2 up for about £6 on Steam the other night. Early indications are that the SP is rather good :)
Tittyfall 2: Judgement Tits....this time it's tits!

Hasta la titsva baby
Played the first 20 minutes - had more fun in those 20 minutes than 3 hours with Senua

EA Play Basic starts tomorrow plus they added 20 Bethesda games. This is amazing value for money

I guess it's due to the above, but Jedi Fallen Order is now available on Game Pass, downloading it now.

Might I suggest to my learned forum brethren that NFS: Heat is a steaming pile of yak scrotum and not to be mentioned in the same breath as Forza 4...

How. Fucking. Ever.

Yet another proprietary fucking game installer from EA, not just Origin now I have to have the EA Desktop application. Insult to injury, know what they have omitted from it? A way to uninstall shit NFS titles. Honestly, a basic function that should be on any requirements list for a gaming platform and they are recommending users use the Windows Add & Remove Programs tool.

EA do chow on Satan's spam-satchel, no question.

Just ran into the same problem with the EA desktop myself. If there is an option to uninstall a game in the client its certainly not visible or easily accessible.

Had to go into the control panel like its was the fucking 90s.

I had real trouble getting that piece of shit new launcher to even work, too.

My EA and Xbox accounts use different email addresses, so that might have confused them, but if I clicked the button in the shitty Xbox app to launch EA Desktop, it'd flash up briefly then disappear. Manually launch it and log in, then click install in Xbox would come up with an inscrutable error like 0xf001. Utter dogshit.

Fixed it now by manually linking my accounts.

Pretty good deal this - get 4 months of Game Pass for £20:

I've just tried it, and it works.

Pretty sure that hasn't worked for me. Added it to the Microsoft page via the link on the article and all it's done is give me a year of EA Play ending 06/05/2022 on my Microsoft account.

£20 wasted there it looks like.

I didn't use the article links, aside from the one to the relevant Amazon page, instead just manually browsing to my Microsoft account page. It definitely worked for me, my sub went up from ending in November 2021 to March 2022.

You should have got a message window pop up saying the 12-month EA sub was being converted to a 4-month Game Pass sub, guessing you didn't get that for some reason?

No pop-up, it just let me add it when I clicked to redeem. My account subscriptions have updated now to show a year of prepaid EA Play on my account too.

Bugger.

I really dislike all these janky interlinked services.

I believe you have to be an existing subscriber for this to work.

If you already are Mantis get on the horn to Microsoft CS and see if they can sort it before waving goodbye to £20.

CD Keys is usually about £16-17 for EA Play which is obviously slightly cheaper than Amazon. Its the way I've been doing it since they introduced the conversion back in November. There are even cheaper (and more convoluted) ways of doing it like the Brazilian Xbox Gold method, but I cant be bothered with the faff.

Good tip MM, not sure why I didn't check CD Keys as I buy from them pretty regularly
