As the launch of next-gen Xbox consoles comes closer, Microsoft is trying their best to emerge superior among its competition. Therefore, it has been bringing convenient offers as well as additional benefits to accompany the consoles to lure buyers.

Recently, Microsoft made a deal to acquire Bethesda for $7.5 Billion. Additionally, it will now have early access to popular titles like Doom and Elder Scrolls. Moreover, Xbox has now announced that it will be including Bethesda’s iconic franchises in the Xbox Game Pass for console and PC.

Microsoft have also announced that they are excited for Starfield, a new space epic currently in development by Bethesda Game Studios, and Doom Eternal, which is coming to Xbox Game Pass on October 1 and for PC later in 2020.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Members Get EA Play on November 10

For its next move, Microsoft partnered up with game developers EA to bring their titles to the next-gen Xbox consoles before others. Microsoft had already announced that they will be teaming up with Electronic Arts to provide Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC members an EA Play membership at no additional cost. However, they have finally announced the date for it.

Starting November 10, EA Play will be available on Xbox consoles as part of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. This includes the Series S and Series X consoles launching in November. The pass will also be available to PC users starting December. Players will be able to download and play games from the EA Play library on Windows 10 PCs.

Finally, while Microsoft hasn’t put a date on it, they also plan to bring the service to Android users. EA Play games will also be available for Game Pass Ultimate members via the cloud.

The deal not only benefits the players planning to buy next-gen Microsoft consoles, but also those who currently own one. This gives buyers a strong incentive to go for the Xbox instead of the PlayStation as it makes more sense in the long run. The benefits will ensure that they have access to a large variety of games across the consoles, PC, and Android devices they buy over the years.
