Last verified 2026-09-02. Primary: official page https://www.ea.com/ea-play fetched 2026-06-14 — returned full USD pricing for EA Play and EA Play Pro. Corroboration: https://www.ea.com/en-us/ea-play also returned matching prices. Re-verified 2026-09-02 against the live pricing page; published figures unchanged. The corroborating page this record cited (https://www.ea.com/en-us/ea-play) is gone: on 2026-09-11 it answered 200 and redirected to https://www.ea.com/ea-play, both from a residential connection and from a datacenter on another continent — so the page is gone rather than withheld from one asker. This record therefore no longer claims an independent second witness for its figures. The page the figures were read from, ea.com, still answers.
