Jump to Summary

Electronic Arts (EA) has integrated the action-adventure game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor into its EA Play subscription service for PlayStation users in select regions. This development precedes a scheduled price hike for EA Play, which is anticipated to take effect on May 10, 2024. The cost for a monthly subscription will rise from $4.99 to $5.99, while the annual fee will go up from $29.99 to $39.99. For those subscribing to the Pro tier, the new rates will be $16.99 per month or $119.99 annually, marking a $20 increase for the annual plan.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which has garnered high ratings since its release in April 2023, will now be accessible to EA Play members at no additional cost, potentially mitigating the impact of the impending subscription price increase. While the game has faced criticism for its performance on PC, notably due to Unreal Engine traversal stutter, console versions have seen improvements following recent updates. It is also anticipated that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will become available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, although it has not yet been listed on the Microsoft Store.

As part of EA Play's library, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor joins a catalog of other EA titles available to subscribers. This comes nearly a year after the game's initial release and aligns with the typical timeframe for new additions to the service. The game's inclusion on EA Play could provide value to subscribers in light of the planned price adjustments. Additional official announcements regarding the game's availability across different platforms and regions are expected soon.
