PS5 EA Play Madden Release Date?

[SouthernWarrior]

Very confused on how EA Play works for PS5 or if it even exists and what the release date is?

According to an article, there is no EA Play for PS5

And if you have EA Play you can play Madden 22 for 10 hours on August 12th rather than the 17th (or 20th).

So can anyone clarify how it would work for PS5? I'd ideally like to play it on August 12th and get my 10 hours in.

There is EA play for PS5. There isn’t a hub like for other consoles though.

But if you have it, you go to the store, find your game you want and download from the PSN store.

So I don't think I currently have EA Play, I just buy the early Madden version and I'll be able to play it for 10 hours on the 12th?? I'm confused.

or I buy EA Play at the PS5 store and then on the 12th I'll have access to Madden?

If you buy the game, you play it whatever date it shows it unlocks for unlimited time.

If you got EA Play, you’ll get the 10 hour free trial before you decide to buy it.

Ok I just bought EA play on the PS5 store... so on the 12th I just go to the EA Play button on the store and it'll show up? Or I go to the Madden screen then and I'll just have it?

If you purchased EA Play, you just open it on the day that the demo for M22 is available and it will show as an available download (unless its different than xbox for some reason).

Is there difference with ea play pro? The advertisement for pro says unlimited time trial instead of 10 hours... (it doesn't mention Madden specifically.)

EA Play Pro is exclusively on PC. Yes it does come with unlimited play time. It’s also more expensive than the base model EA Play. Good deal for EA games on PC. Also be aware PC will still have the last gen version of Madden.
