EA Sports FC 26 and Call of Duty: Vanguard Are Coming to Game Pass

EA Sports FC 26 is headed to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on June 18, just in time for the FIFA World Cup. The soccer game will be preceded by Call of Duty: Vanguard, which will also be available on the Game Pass Premium tier starting tomorrow, June 17.

I expected that EA would capitalize on the ongoing World Cup to maximize sales of FC 26 during the competition, so the game joining the EA Play list this week is a pleasant surprise. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass members will also soon get access to Abyssus, Winds of Arcana: Ruination, and TV There Yet?, while Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 will become available with the cheaper Game Pass Premium tier.
