EA Sports UFC 5 Free Trial Expired Issue

EA Sports UFC 5 is the latest entry in the mixed martial arts fighting video game franchise. UFC 5 promises to be the biggest game in the series so far, with lots of available fighters to choose from. And while the official release date for the game is this Friday, October 27th, 2023, players that are subscribed to EA Play, as well as those that pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition of the game, are able to play it in Early Access. In the case EA Play subscribers, this is limited to 10 hours of Free Trial. The problem is that players are getting the “Your trial has expired” message long before those ten hours should be up, sometimes even after only three hours. So is there anything that you can do about this EA Sports UFC 5 Free Trial Expired Issue?
