EA Play members should be aware of upcoming game removals in February 2025. This subscription service from Electronic Arts provides access to game trials, full titles, and exclusive perks. Available separately or through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, EA Play offers significant value for gaming enthusiasts.

A major advantage of EA Play is its diverse game library featuring both classic and recent releases. However, similar to other subscription platforms, titles occasionally rotate out of availability. Unfortunately, February 2025 will see this happen with multiple games.

EA has confirmed two notable departures next February. Sports fans will lose access to Madden NFL 23 on February 15, with racing simulator F1 22 following on February 28. Importantly, these removals don't immediately affect online multiplayer functionality - those services will continue temporarily despite the games leaving EA Play. Players should enjoy these titles while they remain accessible.

Upcoming EA Play Departures

• Madden NFL 23 - Leaving February 15
• F1 22 - Leaving February 28

The upcoming game removals form only part of February's disappointing news for EA fans. UFC 3 will terminate its online services on February 17, potentially diminishing its value even if it remains in the EA Play catalog. Subscribers may want to prioritize playing UFC 3 before these features disappear.

While losing access to these games is disappointing, the silver lining is that newer franchise installments remain available. Following February's changes, EA Play will still offer Madden NFL 24, F1 23, and UFC 4 - with UFC 5 joining the lineup on January 14. Though never pleasant when games leave subscription services, having updated alternatives available helps mitigate the impact.
