So whether you've already purchased one of Microsoft's next-gen consoles or you're still sticking with the Xbox One for now, you won't be left out in this instance. This includes Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC. Whether battling your rival in a 7-on-7 grudge match, fighting your way through a season of the Blitz Gauntlet, or taking over the online Battle. This means that those who are only subscribed to the Xbox Game Pass for console tier won't be able to gain access to Madden 22 unless they upgrade their subscription.Īlthough this caveat is a bit of a bummer, the good news is that Madden NFL 22 is available natively for all Xbox platforms. Featuring a combination of the arcade-style gameplay that made the original a hit and the deep, immersive game modes of today, NFL Blitz is recharged with an energetic, football gaming experience. In turn, EA Play is only offered up to Xbox Game Pass subscribers who subscribe to the PC or Ultimate versions of the service. This is because, technically speaking, Madden NFL 22 has been released via EA Play today rather than coming natively to Game Pass. Sadly, this release does come with the aforementioned caveat that you must be subscribed to Game Pass Ultimate or Game Pass for PC in order to play Madden NFL 22.

We’ll see how it goes soon enough.įollow me on Twitter, Threads, YouTube, and Instagram. Not to say Starfield will reach that mark, but it does feel like it needs to generate a hell of a lot of Game Pass subscriptions to warrant A) its day-one launch status there and B) keeping it off PlayStation where tens of millions of sales would have happened over time. The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim has sold 60 million copies. You can just buy the game for $70, albeit very few people do that for day-one Game Pass games in general. Or, of course, there is no mandate to buy Game Pass at all. With a $1 promotional deal, new subscribers could sign up, play Starfield for a month and ditch Game Pass. Of course you run a risk in the opposite direction as well.

Who needs a $70 game sale when you’ve now convinced someone to sign up for a service that costs $10-17 a month or $120 to $204 a year? If this plays out as some are predicting with that many new Xbox Game Pass subs, that could be a windfall for Microsoft, certainly.
