Summary
- Two games are leaving EA Play in February 2025.
- Madden NFL 23 is leaving on February 15, while F1 22 is leaving on February 28.
- Meanwhile, UFC 3's online will shut down on February 17.
EA Play subscribers should take note that two games will be departing from the service in February 2025. EA Play, EA's renowned subscription service, offers its members free game trials, full game access, and a host of other benefits. This service can be subscribed to independently or as part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
One of the standout features of an EA Play subscription is the access it provides to an extensive collection of games from EA's catalog. The EA Play library boasts a mix of both classic and contemporary titles, offering subscribers a wide range of gaming experiences. However, similar to other subscription services, EA Play occasionally removes games from its lineup, and February 2025 will see the departure of at least two titles.
EA has confirmed that Madden NFL 23 will be removed from the EA Play lineup on February 15, and F1 22 will follow suit on February 28. It's important to clarify that these games are not immediately shutting down their online multiplayer functionalities; they are simply being removed from the EA Play service. However, online shutdowns are likely to occur in the future. Therefore, EA Play subscribers should make the most of their time with Madden NFL 23 and F1 22 while they still have access.
List of Games Leaving EA Play Soon
- Madden NFL 23 - February 15
- F1 22 - February 28
The news doesn't end there for EA fans in February 2025; it's also been announced that the online services for UFC 3 will cease on February 17. It remains uncertain whether UFC 3 will continue to be available on EA Play post-shutdown, but the loss of its online features will undoubtedly impact the game's appeal. Consequently, EA Play subscribers might want to prioritize playing UFC 3 before this date.
While the removal of these EA titles from the EA Play lineup and the shutdown of UFC 3's online features are certainly disappointing, there is some consolation. Newer iterations of these franchises, such as Madden NFL 24, F1 23, and UFC 4, will remain accessible on EA Play after February. Furthermore, UFC 5 is set to enhance the EA Play library when it joins on January 14. Though it's always disheartening to see games leave subscription services, the availability of updated versions can help ease the transition for subscribers.
