    Actually is going to EA Play, which is only included in Gamepass Ultimate:

    PlayStation users can also get this game on EA Play.

    • [Deactivated] on 05/01/2022 - 07:37

      Yeah I'm considering $20 for a year of EA Play instead. Sale ends today on Steam.

    • NeggerOfDeals on 05/01/2022 - 08:05

      EA Play is included in normal Gamepass. EA Play Pro is Ultimate.

        You are right, I meant to say the game is going to EA Play Pro, which is only on Game Pass Ultimate.

          It has been on EA Play Pro since it launched. I think you're confused.

            @NeggerOfDeals: To all the people negging, why not look it up and reply with actual information if he's wrong? I'll do it (bloody hell).

            https://www.xbox.com/en-AU/xbox-game-pass?xr=shellnav#join

            "Ultimate… $15.95/month…Also Includes:… EA Play"

            "PC… $10.95/month…Also includes: EA Play"

            "Console $10.95/month" makes no mention of EA Play.

            So for Xbox owners, you need to pay for Ultimate, if you're on PC only like me and possibly other people, you don't/can't, there's only one option and it includes EA Play.

            You're both right, just not talking about the same thing probably.

        EA Play is included in Ultimate. EA Pro is some PC bollocks I can't comment on.

        What I can say is NO version of EA Play is included in Game Pass, only Ultimate.

          Sorry, but that is wrong. I've got Game Pass PC not Ultimate and I definitely can access EA Play.
          Or were you referring to Game Pass Console? Gets a bit confusing..

              Game Pass on console does not include EA Play. Only Game Pass Ultimate or Game Pass for PC.

              EA Play Pro is PC and Origin exclusive only. You can't even get it on Steam.

                  No version of Game Pass on console includes EA Pro, as EA Pro isn't available on console. To be fair I did at least say I have no idea about PC lmao

                  @NeggerOfDeals: You're the one that made the incorrect statement to begin with:

                  EA Play is included in normal Gamepass. EA Play Pro is Ultimate.

                  EA Play is not included in normal Game Pass. Only Game Pass for PC - and EA Play Pro is not part of Ultimate, it's Origin only.

      also if you never purchased it before you should be able to get $1 for a month or something like that, there is always some deal for newbies

    • Ehx on 05/01/2022 - 08:15
      +11

      This is what I did and the instructions I sent my mate, which I got from another OZB thread. Works out to around $4.10c a month for Xbox Gamepass Ultimate (this can fluctuate, depending on the current price of the keys - still much cheaper than normal.)

      Requirements:

      VPN that can connect to Turkey

      Microsoft/Xbox account

      Money lol

      1. Create Xbox AU account here: https://www.xbox.com/en-AU (or use existing).
      2. Go to https://www.eneba.com/
      3. Change currency/country to Australia/AUD
      4. Purchase 3x 'Xbox Live Gold 12 months Xbox Live Key TURKEY' (https://www.eneba.com/xbox-xbox-live-gold-12-months-xbox-liv…)
      5. If prompted for which seller, select ultimate choice
      6. You should get an e-mail with your keys
      7. Use a VPN and connect to Turkey
      8. Go to https://redeem.microsoft.com/, Log-in to your xbox account
      9. Repeat redemption for all of the codes
        VPN NO LONGER REQUIRED
      10. Once you have redeemed as many as you want, (max of 3 for 36 months), you can then opt to "upgrade" to xbox game pass ultimate for $1 (new users) or $14 (existing)
        this can be done in the account/subscriptions page, also https://www.xbox.com/en-AU/live/gold/upgrade
      • [Deactivated] on 05/01/2022 - 08:23

        So around $165 for 3 years? That's not so bad I guess.

          I’ve probably already saved more than the price I paid for 3 years from a few games I was going to purchase, but ended up being able to play them via gamepass.

          • [Deactivated] on 05/01/2022 - 08:29

            @Ehx: Yeah I don't play many Xbox games. I'm playing Halo infinite multiplayer and loving it. Friends who own it say the campaign isn't worth it though. Forza Horizon would interest me very casually and I already own the Master Chief Collection ($20 Steam) the Gears Of War games (also very cheap Steam) MS Flight Simulator (Steam) and several older games like Halo Wars 1+2, Forza 6/7/Horizon 3 from owning a Xbox One back in the day. I loved Game Pass at first but I quickly realised I personally wasn't getting my money's worth it of it.

            • Jklaro on 05/01/2022 - 09:28

              @[Deactivated]: Halo infinite campaign is awesome I'm having so much fun with it. The game makes you want to collect everything. Great game recommend it to anyone.

              • [Deactivated] on 05/01/2022 - 09:37

                @Jklaro: I should have mentioned that he liked the campaign but we always played coop campaign and firefight. None of that is in this one afaik, it'll probably come later in patches I guess.

              • bardlee on 05/01/2022 - 12:19

                @Jklaro: Just finished campaign. Lots of fun and hard bosses.

            • Harold Halfprice on 05/01/2022 - 15:01

              @[Deactivated]: Campaign is probably one the best Halo campaigns.

              Considering it's on Gamepass, it's 100% worth it. The biggest criticism that people have is that it doesn't give you any armor or unlocks for coop and online.

          • Stoibs on 05/01/2022 - 09:05

            @Ehx: Yup same. Already covered my cost within the first year with a whole bunch of stuff like Psychonauts 2, B4B, It Takes Two, Jedi Fallen Order, The Forgotten City, Hades and dozens of other little indies that I had a passing interest in, but not enough to blind buy on.

            Also good as a demo service too, I've sampled and quickly uninstalled my fair share also :P

            Mine expires at the end of 2023 so I've still got an insane amount of value to look forward to from the initial ~$150 or whatever it was I paid through that VPN method.

            • Jklaro on 05/01/2022 - 09:31

    Game Pass paying off again.. was tempted by Mass Effect LE because I remember loving the original back in the day, but I'm all too familiar with old games 'feeling' too old/clunky to actually play these days, no matter how rose tinted the glasses get. Very happy to get a chance to check it out for "free"..

    • Chazzozz on 05/01/2022 - 10:00
      +1

      Worth it, IMHO, for ME:LE alone. I paid for the digital version at launch (I should’ve held off, but was too impatient - LOL!) but I think it’s worth every penny. I was about 10 minutes into gameplay in ME1 and was instantly reminded why I loved the series so much in the first place.

      It’s important to note the major upgrades revolve around the visuals, so things look a lot nicer on good hardware. Gameplay, however, remains the same because the games were originally built on early versions of the Unreal Engine, and that can’t be improved upon without completely rebuilding them. But, you do get all the DLC included (except for one or two where BioWare apparently lost the original files!), and the chance to play through all of them back-to-back without waiting for another release.

      I was the same, but caved a few weeks before Christmas when the disc version dropped to about $40. No regrets though, it's an awesome game (3 games really) that I'm sure I'll be playing long after it leaves Game Pass.
