Usually, no. EA Play is a paid subscription when purchased on its own. EA says it is included at no additional EA Play charge with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Game Pass for PC—but those Game Pass plans are paid subscriptions. Prices and eligibility can vary by country and platform.

Is EA Play included with Xbox Game Pass?
EA says EA Play membership is included at no additional cost for subscribers to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Game Pass for PC. That means there is no separate EA Play fee on top of an eligible plan—not that either Game Pass plan is free. Confirm that your current plan and region qualify. EA Play FAQ
What does an EA Play membership include?
EA describes standard EA Play as including a collection of games, trials of select new releases of up to 10 hours, monthly in-game rewards, and a 10% discount on eligible EA digital purchases. Conditions, exclusions, and limitations apply. A trial of a selected game is a membership benefit; it is not a free trial of the EA Play subscription itself. EA Play FAQ
