With only a month left until Knockout City releases, the game’s creators have broken the news that the title will be coming to EA Play and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on day one. Developed by Velan Studios and published by Electronic Arts, the competitive dodgeball game centers around two teams attempting to knock rivals out. The game was officially announced earlier this year in Nintendo’s first 2021 Direct. However, the Knockout City team is showing of its connections with other major industry companies today with this Xbox-centric news.

EA’s subscription service, called EA Play, made its way onto Microsoft’s counterpart, Game Pass Ultimate, last year, and the partnership has led to even more news in 2021. Earlier this month, EA announced that FIFA 21 and NHL 21 would soon come to EA Play, meaning that Game Pass Ultimate subscribers would also be able to get access to the games. In another recent announcement, Microsoft explained that a number of EA titles, half of which are available on game pass, would be getting the benefit of the console’s FPS boost feature.

This morning, Electronic Arts’ Rachel Crowley revealed in an official Xbox blog post that Knockout City is coming to Game Pass Ultimate when it launches. Pausing first to laud the game’s successful beta, the announcement goes on to confirm that Knockout City will be free for EA Play and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers on May 21. The post then expands on what players can expect from the title – emphasizing throughout that all EA Play and Game Pass Ultimate members can get the entire game and all of its content for no extra cost. Knockout City’s initial launch will be followed by weeks of special events, according to Crowley, though the exact details are not revealed in the blog. After a quick rundown of the game’s various maps, ball choices, and modes, the post relays the title’s $19.99 price tag for non-subscribers.

Some of Knockout City’s customization options mentioned in the Xbox blog post were shown off in a recent gameplay trailer along with special skills and more. The footage highlights the game’s fast pace, focusing on moves like dominate and fake out. The trailer also gives players a glimpse into the title’s overall vibe and hectic-looking action.

With Knockout City’s May release date approaching fast, this Xbox Game Pass Ultimate announcement comes at a good time. Game Pass Ultimate members that might have been hesitant to pick up a dodgeball-inspired game at full price can try the game out without the looming threat of buyer’s remorse. That Knockout City is priced at nearly $20 could also push players that have not subscribed to Microsoft’s $15 per month gaming service into trying it out.
