One way to secure the early access demo for Wild Hearts is to purchase an EA Play subscription from EA's official website.

Regular EA Play subscribers will be able to play the demo up to the gates of Minato, while EA Play Pro subscribers will have their progress carry over when the game launches.

EA Play Pro Members Do Not Have Access


Whether due to a bug or set intentionally, EA Play Pro members have not been able to get early access. As of writing we still do not have confirmation as to when Wild Hearts will be available to EA Play Pro members.

Get an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Subscription

Like regular EA Play subscribers, Game Pass Ultimate members will also be able to play the demo up to the gates of Minato. However, unlike EA Play Pro subscribers, their progress in the demo may not carry over into the full game.

Early Access Is Not in the Xbox Game Pass App
