No. FIFA 22 is not currently included with EA Play. Electronic Arts says it left The Play List on June 30, 2024. It was included previously, so older announcements saying otherwise are out of date.

Was FIFA 22 ever included with EA Play?

Yes. EA announced that FIFA 22 joined The Play List on June 23, 2022. The Play List is EA Play’s catalog of games included with a membership, but FIFA 22’s later removal means that past inclusion does not provide access now.

EA’s removal notice names Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Steam, and the EA App. The notice establishes the removal for those listed platform and store contexts; it should not be generalized to other platforms.

Can you still play FIFA 22?

EA Play membership

An EA Play membership no longer provides FIFA 22 through The Play List. EA says members can search for games in the EA App on Windows PC or Mac, but that general catalog guidance does not override FIFA 22’s removal notice.

#1 Best Overall
Electronic Arts FIFA 22 (PS4)
  • GOALKEEPER REWRITE: A brand new goalkeeper system brings a new level of intelligence to the last line of defence, unlocking more reliable shot-stopping and smarter decision-making between the posts. In FIFA 22, goalkeeper positioning personality replicates the different styles of keepers throughout the game - to represent the lightning-fast reflexes of world-class shot stoppers
  • TRUE BALL PHYSICS: Real-world data imported into FIFA 22 takes the game’s ball physics to a new level of realism. Tuned parameters including speed, swerve, air drag, air resistance, ground friction, and rolling friction mean every touch, trap, shot, volley, pass, and dribble will look, move, and fly like the real thing
  • EXPLOSIVE SPRINT: A new gameplay mechanic that changes the dynamic of one-on-one situations, Explosive Sprint gives you more control over acceleration when dribbling or defending. Lure opponents in and choose when to unleash your full speed to get away from the defender as you drive your team forward in attack
  • NEW ATTACKING TACTICS: New Attacking Tactics give you more control over how you want your team to play. Set up your team with different styles in each half of the pitch: keep the ball in your half and explode into attack with fast build up in the opponent’s, play direct from box to box, or line up in your own unique style
  • New ICONS - Mix today’s biggest stars with FUT ICONS: the greatest players to ever play the game. Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie, Iker Casillas, and Cafu join over 100 of football’s all-time giants including Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, Ronaldo Nazário, Zidane, Beckham, and more in FUT 22

A separately purchased copy

A used physical copy may be an option if it matches your console. Check the specific listing for platform, disc condition, and availability: current stock and price are not established here, and a PS5 disc will not serve as a PC copy. A disc is a separate purchase, not EA Play access.

Does FIFA 22 still have online play?

No online services or features should be expected. EA lists November 4, 2024, as the retirement date for FIFA 22 online services and features. That notice does not specify the status of every offline mode on every platform, so check the game and platform details before buying if offline play is your goal.
