F1 22 is the latest installment in EA racing simulator franchise. The game has been available since the end of last month (June) on multiple consoles and platforms.
To offer extras in its games, EA offers the ‘EA Play’ paid subscription. One of the advantages of EA Play is allowing access to extended demos of the company games.
For instance, F1 22 is available to try for 10 hours if you are an EA Play subscriber. This way, you can better decide whether to buy the game after the trial.
However, according to multiple reports, some players are facing issues with the extended demo. More specifically, some EA Play subscribers are unable to access the F1 22 10 hour trial.

Meanwhile, in other cases the players are even unable to download the trial.
Hello, I have downloaded the F122 trial via EA Play and the EA Play logo has a lock on it. When I click on the game it says my trial has 10 hours left but when I click ok it says “Can’t use this content. To use this content, purchase it.” Any ideas? Source
