The arrival of EA Play as part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on November 10th has been boosted further today with the announcement that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will join the service on the same day.
This means if you're an EA Play member or an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber, you'll be able to play the entire game at no extra charge on your Xbox One, Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S from next Tuesday.
The game, which released in November 2019, is generally considered to be one of the best Star Wars titles in recent memory, centring around Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis and his effort to rebuild the remnants of the Jedi Order.
This narratively-driven single player game puts you in the role of a Jedi Padawan who narrowly escaped the purge of Order 66 following the events of Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith. On a quest to rebuild the Jedi Order, you must pick up the pieces of your shattered past to complete your training, develop new powerful Force abilities, and master the art of the iconic lightsaber - all while staying one step ahead of the Empire and its deadly Inquisitors.
Excited to see Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order joining EA Play? Let us know in the comments below.

Yes!!!! Heard this was likely happening...now I'm adding another game to my must play backlog....seriously...how do i get more time for gaming?
Fantastic, what a great addition!
This game is excellent. I highly recommend it.
This is one of the best games I've played in recent time. You guys need to play this ASAP! No reason not to now.
Fantastic addition to Game Pass!
I'm glad my procrastinating has helped me again 😃👍
Brilliant! I have been holding off buying this and also waiting for better performance on next gen as I heard there were some issues.
Two birds one stone, Game Pass delivers again!
Wish I'd have known that before buying it in the sale last week
Wow, This is a huge addition to gamepass.. I wonder how long it will be on gamepass.. Hopefully it's not like Red Dead Redemption 2 where if leaves in a few monthes..
Yes! So glad I waited on this since I'm very curious about this game, but wasn't sure enough to make a purchase without a heavy discount. Yet another reason Game Pass is amazing and why I will continue to sing it's praises!
@Bmartin001 It’s a part of EA Access program so it depends on how long that partnership lasts.
Waiting for a sequel and absolutely loved this game!! 100% on PS4 Pro; soon Xbox One X...May the Force be with us all!!
Outstanding news - I very nearly caved last week in the sale and had looked at the price on CD Keys the other night - so glad I didn't impulse buy it 😁
@Medic_Alert it was digital and I've not downloaded it yet so have just sent a refund request. Thanks and fingers crossed 🤞
@Medic_Alert they've already refunded it, that was quick and easy
Holy crap that was unexpected...
Great!
@carlos82 apperently EA Play gets games 9-12 months after release...so squadrons will be there in summer 2021.
@Krzzystuff it’s a fantastic game. I had it bundled with my Xbox and put off playing it for a while but it plays absolutely great
I was close to pulling the trigger on a cdkeys code last week. Nice!
Glad I waited.
This is fantastic news. I have wanted to play this game for awhile now. Game Pass just keeps getting better.
I was a bit unsure on the controls on this game, may give it another go
Haven't tried this one yet, but certainly will now!
@carlos82 so how does one request a refund? is there a UI option or one has to contact support and request it?
Although kinda tempted to let them keep my money. I want EA to keep making games like these instead of making stupid MP micro-transaction driven games, if possible.
@Senua I'd imagine that EA will be seeing a massive increase in active users on their games because of this partnership and they will stay. After all it's only games that are a year old or do that go in there and GPU members will get that 10% off all EA Games. I'm sure it's not a short term deal.
@Tharsman on https://support.xbox.com search request a refund and once signed in should show all games that are eligible for a request. Then you just click on the game you'd like a refund and tell them why. It does say it can take up to 72 hours but I had the money back in my PayPal account before I could make a cup of tea
Played and completed on release.
Superb game that will no doubt be polished up when played on Series X as well.
If I remember, the game drops frames here and there and struggled to load assets quickly enough in some instances.
Then there's the uncapped 60FPS mode that should max out no issues now.
I was skeptical of this game at first as the previews made it seem generic. But it turned out to be one of my favorite games of the year. It's a gorgeous, detail-rich, narratively-rich game. I hope collecting different colored ponchos becomes the industry standard for replayability!
@Xiovanni Is that consistently one year after initial release? If so, that’s useful to know, thank you.
