Has FM22 been removed from Gamepass?

[busngabb]

I can no longer launch FM22, now that FM23 has been released. It says it's unavailable in my account.

[TRFC]

Yes, they announced this last week.

Various reasons why both can't be on subscription.

Thanks, must have missed that.

Such as? The previous EA games are all on there. I get that they want more people to play the latest version, but just cutting access off immediately seems a bit off.

Licensing allows the game to be sold for a year.

Ah, okay. So I can't even buy it and continue playing it?

You may be able to source a copy from various stores, just maybe not directly from SI/SEGA... (it also may require a switch to the steam version for instance, as steam codes tend to be more widely available). I would suggest having a search see what you can find, assuming your reasoning is wanting to carry on with an FM22 save.

Cheers, exactly that. I continue playing and let the devs work on ironing out the issues and then when I'm bored of my existing save I move onto to the new game after the first big updates.

Not that it helps at all but Epic games were actually giving FM22 away for free in September.

@HoChiKim Are you sure on that?  I do not have it in my list and https://gamerdigest.com/epic-games-store-free-games-list/ doesn't have it on their list:

I think it was via Amazon Prime that it was being offered, albeit to be redeemed via Epic Games.

Ahh thanks @kevhamsterI didn't know that.

So it expected that Touch on Apple Arcade, will suffer the same fate when FMT24?

Most likely, yes.
