Elden Ring has never been part of any of these subscription catalogs. It is a standalone paid title from FromSoftware and publisher Bandai Namco, so on Xbox and PlayStation you buy the game (or its Shadow of the Erdtree DLC) outright rather than downloading it through a Game Pass or PS Plus membership. No FromSoftware Soulsborne game has landed on Game Pass, and Elden Ring has stayed absent from the PS Plus Extra and Premium game catalog too, which matches its history of never being offered as a subscription freebie. EA Play is even further removed — it only carries titles published by Electronic Arts, and Elden Ring is not an EA game, so it will never appear there.
Subscription catalogs rotate constantly, so always check the live Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Plus, or EA Play app for the definitive, up-to-the-minute lineup before assuming anything. When we refer to PS Plus here, we mean the game catalog available through the Extra and Premium tiers (the base Essential tier only offers the rotating monthly games), and this snapshot reflects availability as of July 2026. If Elden Ring is ever added, it would show up in those apps first — but as things stand, buying it remains the only way to play.
