The renowned Epic Games Store has recently expanded its game library by incorporating several beloved classics from EA, such as various installments from the Need for Speed and Battlefield franchises. Epic Games, a leading online gaming platform, continuously seeks innovative ways to differentiate itself from major competitors like Steam. This platform frequently offers complimentary games for users to acquire, with popular titles like The Outer Worlds and Fallout: New Vegas being common giveaways. Now, Epic Games has enriched its collection with a variety of EA games.
EA has a history of collaborating with prominent online gaming platforms, both through its own subscription service and partnerships with others. EA Play grants access to a wide array of games from the developer, including major franchises like The Sims and Battlefield, as well as its extensive library of EA Sports games. Subscribers to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass also receive complimentary EA Play membership as part of their subscription. Consequently, users of the Epic Games Store now have the opportunity to enjoy numerous classic EA titles.
In a recent update, the Epic Games Store welcomed a collection of ten EA games to its virtual shelves. The additions of Need for Speed and Battlefield are the standout features among EA's latest offerings, with three Battlefield games, five Need for Speed games, and two Dead Space titles included in the lineup.

The addition of EA's game collection to the Epic Games Store fulfills the long-standing request of many fans for EA Play to be integrated into the platform. While users can access EA Play through Steam, Epic Games Store has yet to fully incorporate it. This recent release is not the first time EA has made its games available on the Epic Games Store, having previously introduced new titles like EA Sports FC 24 and EA Sports PGA Tour.
This latest influx of EA titles coincides with Epic Games' ongoing efforts to stay ahead of the competition. The free games offered by the Epic Games Store have been a significant attraction for many users and are anticipated to continue through 2024. In a related development, Microsoft's Phil Spencer has expressed interest in bringing PC platforms like the Epic Games Store to Xbox. The inclusion of EA games broadens the gaming options available to fans through the Epic Games Store.
