EA has quietly added Star Wars Jedi: Survivor to its EA Play subscription service in some PlayStation regions, ahead of an expected price hike for the service.
The move comes as a surprise, as EA has yet to make an official announcement. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is the latest installment in the popular Star Wars Jedi series, and its inclusion in EA Play could help soften the blow of the price increase.
Earlier in April, it emerged that EA Play would get a price increase starting May 10. EA plans to increase the standard tier for EA Play from $4.99 to $5.99 per month, or for those that prefer to pay for a year in advance, the price will increase from $29.99 to $39.99. In contrast, the Pro tier of EA Play will increase from a monthly fee of $14.99 to $16.99 or $119.99 annually (a $20 increase).
Presumably, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will also be available as part of an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, which includes EA Play, although the Microsoft Store is yet to show it.
IGN’s Star Wars Jedi: Survivor review returned a 9/10. We said: “If Respawn makes a third game like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Fallen Order, it’ll complete the best Star Wars trilogy in 30 years, hands down.”
