[Discussion] EA Play for PC Coming to Game Pass Delayed Until 2021

[Uncrowned Guard]

Details are limited and no reasons were given about why the delay has occurred beyond "we need more time to provide the Xbox Game Pass experience" posted in an Official Xbox Update, but the inclusion of EA Play on PC for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers is officially delayed until sometime in 2021.

This update is fairly concerning as it landed exactly on the day that the partnership should have launched and the update leans heavily towards only an update arriving in 2021 and no mention on the partnership itself coming.  We can hope that it is due to integration issues and Microsoft needing to direct their focus to the troublesome Xbox Series S/X launch, but there is nothing more than speculation and a highly uninformative update at this time.

The good side to this is a Tweet by @XboxGamePassPC mentions that the delay is due to the team wanting to provide a higher quality experience and made it sound as if the aforementioned integration issues may be the delay.
