Update: EA has today confirmed that Star Wars: Squadrons will join EA Play on March 18th!
Original story (Thu 25th Feb, 2021 20:45 GMT): EA has already announced this week that Madden NFL 21 will be joining EA Play (and therefore, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate) in March, and now the company has also revealed that Star Wars: Squadrons is being added too!
Unlike Madden, there's no specific date for Squadrons' arrival just yet aside from the "March" window, but in any case it won't be too long before you can experience the entire game at no extra charge with Game Pass Ultimate.
Here's a bit of what we had to say about Star Wars: Squadrons in our review last year:
"Star Wars: Squadrons combines a solid campaign with a truly fantastic multiplayer element that throws players into an immaculately rendered vision of classic Star Wars action that contains enough depth and detail to satisfy hardcore pilots while still remaining accessible and fun for more casual players."
In addition, EA has also confirmed for hockey fans that the excellent NHL 21 will be arriving on EA Play and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate this April, so you'll be able to lace up the virtual skates on Xbox in a few weeks' time.
Excited to see Star Wars: Squadrons coming to Game Pass? Let us know down below.

Yeah that's great news!
After watching The Mandalorian I've really got my love for Star Wars back.
I'm playing through KotoR right now but will look forward to this next month
Very nice.
Keep getting tempted to buy this but my backlog is crazy, so glad I waited now.
EA are getting better with adding these games as well. Used to have to wait 12 months unless it was a sports title, but I think this came out less than 6 months ago.
And this is why you don't buy any EA games anymore people....A year or less and it's in EA Play. Unless you have no backlog or are massively into a franchise, I know the sports ones have big followings, what's the point? I'm just playing through the backlog and will give squadrons a go once I'm done with Fallen Order. If it's not my jam move on to a different star wars title.
Nice. Another game to add to the to-do list.
I've always had a passing interest in hockey as well (although I forgot there were even NHL games until reading this article) so NHL 21 is also something I'll have a crack at as it's practically free.
I played the demo/trial and I just couldn’t get into it.
Really nice addition, but is this going to be on console and PC, or just the console?
May give this a shot thanks to that. I had no plans on buying it, but wouldn't have minded trying it out at some point.
I have no interest in the multiplayer. Is the single player campaign any good?
Tried the trial and personally found it boring... Maybe il get it another go at some point... Maybe
Great news can’t wait to play on series x
