EA Sports WRC: General Discussion

[tbtstt]

My guess: the reveal will happen when the season starts

I was thinking that: just a couple of days before news might be too optimistic though!

The Game Pass Rewards changed this week. Irritatingly, the new "4 pack" and "8 pack" rewards don't recognise any EA Play games, which means neither WRC and Grid Legends are recognised. Not sure if this is a "bug" or intentional, but it's costing EA logins and therefore money - please can you pass this on if you can @PJTierney

Is there something in the terms and conditions about this? I read that external launchers (Battle.net) don’t count but I don’t know if that extends to other third party services like EA Play.

Thanks a lot for the reply. The only change to terms and conditions flagged by MS was the requirement to be over 18 which is new.
I haven't read the T&C in detail yet - I'll see if I can find a summary of changes somewhere - however I know the EA Play games worked for the 5 point Achievement and 3 point "play a game pass game" rewards which existed prior to this Monday, so I guesstimate that it's not a T&C issue. (I was literally using Grid Legends story mode achievements to pop the Achievement rewards last week in the Cloud, along with playing that game for the 3 pointers).
The new rewards DO pop for Game Pass games in the Cloud, but DON'T pop for EA Play games in the Cloud, which is why I think this [might] be a bug.
I will try downloading a EA Play game (if I can find space on my Series S ) to see whether it works that way.

EDIT - I installed Bards Tale Trilogy and that has popped the reward, so I think it should work on installed EA Play games.
Expect a sudden uptick in Bards Tale logins
