Through the Xbox app, Microsoft has revealed which games will leave the catalog PC and Xbox Game Pass on July 1st, anticipating the announcement of the service line-up for the second half of the month. In total there are 5 of them and they also include FIFA 22which seems to suggest the imminent debut in the catalog of EA Sports FC 24 via EA Play, let’s see the complete list:
- FIFA 22 – Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC via EA Play
- FIST: Forged in Shadow Torch – Xbox Series X|S and PC
- Stranded Deep – PC
- Sword and Fairy: Together Forever – Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC
- Story of Season: Friends of Mineral Town – Digital Edition – PC
Will EA Sports FC 24 soon be on PC and Xbox Game Pass?
As per tradition, all the above games will be available on the Xbox Store with a 20% discount (except for more advantageous offers) until their actual removal from Game Pass, which could tempt those who want to continue playing them even after July 1st.
As we said at the beginning, the removal of FIFA 22 suggests the imminent arrival of EA Sports FC 24 in EA Play and consequently within Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. The debut of the game on these services is practically certain, but EA has not yet officially commented on the timing.
That said, last year the arrival of FIFA 23 occurred at the same time as the removal of FIFA 21, which would seem to be an important clue that the new chapter in the series is imminent, just in time to capitalize on the enthusiasm for the European Championships and the addition of the dedicated free mode in the game. We’ll probably know for sure in the next few days, if not today.
