Two popular titles, F1 22 and Madden NFL 23, are preparing to exit the Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play libraries.
This notable change is set to take effect in February 2025, making waves in the gaming community as players rush to squeeze out every last achievement before the games are gone for good.
Key Removal Dates:
- **Madden NFL 23**: Leaving Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play on **February 15, 2025**
- **F1 22**: Departing from both services on **February 28, 2025**
What to Expect from Madden NFL 23:
With an estimated completion time of between 80 to 100 hours required to unlock all Madden NFL 23 achievements, players are advised to act quickly if they still wish to tackle this challenge.
Important to note, the game has already been removed from the Xbox Store, meaning that if you don’t finish unlocking those achievements before February 15, 2025, you will need to hunt for a physical copy if you wish to continue your progress. Moreover, the Xbox One version of the game will also be taken off EA Play on the same date, so make sure to grab whatever version you prefer.
The Situation with F1 22:
F1 22, on the other hand, has a slightly different scenario.
The game features a discontinued achievement, which means new players won’t be able to achieve a full score of 1,000G. However, dedicated gamers can still earn up to 985G within approximately 30 hours of gameplay.
Much like Madden NFL 23, this title has also been delisted from the Microsoft Store.
Server Shutdown for Madden NFL 21:
In a related announcement, EA has also declared that the servers for Madden NFL 21 will go offline on **June 30, 2025**.
This means that both the Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One versions of the game will lose access to two online-only achievements. Make sure to get your hands on those before it’s too late!
Final Thoughts:
As we approach the deadline for F1 22 and Madden NFL 23, the gaming community is buzzing with anticipation.
Are you planning to dive back into these titles, or will you be saying your bittersweet goodbyes?
