EA Play November 2026 games on Xbox include Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted and MySims: Cozy Bundle. Both are full games in the EA Play catalogue, so you can play them with an eligible subscription instead of purchasing separate copies.
The release dates are slightly different, which has caused some confusion. Replanted joined Game Pass on 29 October, while MySims arrived on 5 November. EA grouped both together in its November EA Play announcement. Here’s what you can play, who gets access and how to find them.
Which EA Play November 2026 games are included on Xbox?
There are two games in this particular EA Play announcement, not two timed trials or free-to-keep downloads:
- Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted: An HD version of the original lawn-defence game, with new levels, local co-op, local player-versus-player battles and extra challenge modes. It arrived on Game Pass on 29 October 2026.
- MySims: Cozy Bundle: Includes both MySims and MySims Kingdom. The bundle joined Game Pass on 5 November 2026.
EA’s 5 November announcement brings both under The Play List, its catalogue of games you can play while a qualifying membership remains active and the title stays included. That is different from the usual ten-hour EA Play trials offered for certain new releases.
Which Game Pass plans include EA Play November 2026 games?
Game Pass Ultimate includes EA Play and covers the Xbox console offer. PC Game Pass includes EA Play on PC. You can also subscribe to EA Play separately on an eligible platform. Game Pass Premium and Essential aren’t listed as qualifying EA Play memberships for these games.
Microsoft lists both titles for cloud, console and PC in its Game Pass announcements, but your plan still matters. PC Game Pass does not itself include Xbox Cloud Gaming, and a game’s listing can show different play options depending on your device. Check the store page while signed into the subscribed account.
If you already pay for Ultimate, the EA Play November 2026 games don’t need another purchase just because the Xbox Store page also offers a buy button. Look for your membership’s install or play option before paying.
What’s new in Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted?
This is the familiar Plants vs. Zombies formula: put defensive plants across the lawn and stop the zombies getting to the house. Replanted improves the visuals and adds more than a new coat of paint. The HD remaster has fresh levels, local co-op and PvP, alongside classic minigames.
Cloudy Day is one of the new challenge modes, while Rest In Peace adds permadeath. EA also includes previously unseen concept art and series history. If you were planning to buy the remaster to see those additions, it’s worth checking your Ultimate membership first.
You may have seen a Nintendo Switch Online trial advertised separately. That was a limited-time Switch promotion, not the same arrangement as EA Play November 2026 games on Xbox. Subscription access doesn’t turn the Xbox version into a permanent purchase.
What do you get in MySims: Cozy Bundle?
MySims is the town-building half. You meet residents, take on their requests, make furniture and customise buildings. MySims Kingdom has a broader adventure structure, with islands to explore, puzzles to solve and objects to create using Mana.
Both games are packaged together. You don’t have to find separate EA Play downloads for MySims and MySims Kingdom if the Cozy Bundle listing is available through your subscription. It’s also a much more relaxed option than fighting zombies in the garden.
How to install EA Play November 2026 games
- Sign in to your Xbox console or Windows Xbox app using the account with your eligible EA Play or Game Pass membership.
- Search for Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted or MySims: Cozy Bundle.
- Open the game’s listing and look for the install or play option offered through your membership.
- If you see only a purchase button, check your subscription and device compatibility before spending money.
The EA Play November 2026 games are part of the catalogue, not titles you keep forever. Save progress can remain on your account, but you’ll need an eligible active membership or a purchased licence to keep playing after subscription access ends. EA’s separate 10% discount on qualifying digital purchases is another benefit, not an extra fee for these games.
