F1 2021 not available for EA Play pro

[gr00vemasta]

Why is F1 2021 only available for EA Play members and not EA Play Pro members?

has anyone on EA Play Pro been able to get the game?

Hey @gr00vemasta,

Welcome!

Good question indeed.

This is because F1 2021 is only available via Steam for PC and Steam doesn't have EA Play Pro. EA Play Pro is only for Origin.

Hope this helps.

I have purchased an Xbox game pass which included EA play, while accessing the EA app, in that many games are there but f1 21 is not present, as in the title it showed me f1 21 will be available with ea play 

what a scam really!

Hey @HipOsprey957429,

This is because of the above-posted message.

Thanks.

will this be the case for 2022 as well? yes we can use a browser and play 2021 using cloud gaming but thats not quite the same

Hey @enrohcmada,

I am not sure if/when F1® 22 will be included with EA Play (Pro), but F1® 22 (for PC) will be released on Origin/EA app, Steam & Epic. Hope this helps.

I have the same issue. I subscribed to EA Play via GamePass Ultimate to play F1 2021.

Now I see that is not possible.

It doesn't make any sense to me, I pay the same amount monthly, but I don't have the same benefits.

Can you offer me a Steam code, so I can enjoy playing it with my friends? Otherwise I will just unsubscribe.

Hey @KatsuhikoX,

F1 2021 is a Steam-only game (for PC). This means that it is not available via Origin/EA app, hence why it is not included in the EA Play membership that you get via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, as this requires the EA app.

[KatsuhikoX]

The technicality is 100% clear, but it's not fair. We as customers, should have access to the same library no matter where we decide to pay for it.

For example I subscribed to Game Pass Ultimate:

1. via my Microsoft account

2. via my internet subscriber

and I had access to exactly the same library, no difference whatsoever. 

Could you make it fair for me?

That's why I proposed as a solution to receive a Steam code for F1 2021 (because F1 2021 is a Steam-only game - for PC)

If this is not possible, I will just unsubscribe, as  EA app it's anyway filled with bugs.

I will save a few euros every month. After all in 18 months I played only 1 EA game, F1 2021 would have been the 2nd one.

It's your decision if you want to keep me as customer or not.

@KatsuhikoX, appreciate the feedback, but unfortunately, there's nothing we can do at the moment.
