Players will even get discounts on future EA purchases as part of the membership. The membership also offers access to trial versions of new games before purchases.
It is worth noting that players need to use the new EA Desktop app to get access to all the EA games. This new app is currently in the Beta testing phase. Microsoft also encouraged Xbox Game Pass users to share feedback for the app with EA to help with testing. As per the process, users just need to click on the EA title of their choice, ensure that they have installed the EA Desktop app, and play the game.
