Bought EA Play on Steam Store and now regret getting it? Well, it’s not just you who has run into this dilemma! EA Play is, no doubt, a great subscription to get if you find yourself purchasing EA titles regularly. However, purchasing a year-long subscription to EA Play may get you regretting within the first few hours of use if you aren’t an EA freak. There’s a way you can get it refunded, thankfully. The refund process is smoother on Steam, requiring you to just submit a request. But if you have already started using the subscription, the only way you could tackle this is by canceling the subscription. Read this article to know the detailed process of refunding EA Play on Steam.
What is EA Play?
EA Play is an online subscription service provided by EA. Well, you should get it if you love EA titles. With EA Play, you will be entitled to members-only content and exclusive rewards. Certain new-release EA titles will be made available at your disposal – try for up to 10 hours before you decide to buy them. Plus, you will also receive a 10% discount on digital purchases made on EA’s platform, including full games and DLCs. Along with all the benefits, EA Play is also known to be notorious sometimes. Users report running into bugs while making pre-release purchases and are generally not happy about the overpriced subscription rates for PC.
Moreover, if you own an Xbox or play games on a PC, you could just get a Game Pass subscription. Xbox’s GamePass Ultimate subscription not only includes 100+ popular video games but also includes an EA Play subscription at no additional cost. So, why get EA Play on Steam when you can enjoy much more with Xbox GamePass Ultimate?
Here’s how you can refund EA Play on Steam.
If you haven’t used your EA Play subscription and it’s not been 48 hours since you purchased it, you can simply submit a request to get it refunded. But if you have used your subscription to buy and play EA titles, you won’t be able to apply for a refund. In case you have already used EA Play which you bought on Steam, you can choose to cancel the subscription. Canceling it will make sure that you are not charged for the next billing cycle.
