Electronic Arts and Velan Studios have announced that the upcoming 3 vs. 3 dodgebrawl; game, Knockout City, will be available to play via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Game Pass for PC on day one.
Here’s what Velan Studios had to say regarding the announcement:
Starting at launch, all EA Play members (across all platforms) will not only have unlimited access to the full game—with five starting playlists, six special balls, five multiplayer maps, one interactive environment and more—but they can also duke it out in style with the exclusive Knockout City “Epic Outfit: Ready Up,” which will be automatically added to their inventory once the game is booted up. Once suited up, players can plan with their Crew to create a much bigger threat by stringing together faster throws or giving the opponent the ol’ one-two hit.
Whether battling it out all over the city, from Rooftop Rumble to the Concussion Yard, Knockout City offers a variety of weapons – including the classic Standard Ball, the explosive Bomb Ball, the trapping Cage Ball and the gravity defying Moon Ball – to take down opponents in style. In addition, players can also switch up their playlists to keep each match interesting, whether rolling solo in a Face-Off match, outsmarting opponents with their Crew in three-versus-three Team KO, three-versus-three Diamond Dash, or four-versus-four Ball-Up Brawl. Players who fancy free-for-all competition can jump into KO Chaos, while those looking to settle beef can play a private match in any playlist.
Velan Studios hasn’t been too bad for themselves either. Knockout City has seen over 1 million downloads during the course of the playable betas. That’s definitely something to be proud of, and I have to say I rather enjoyed my time with the betas. I didn’t always win, and some bugs caused me some frustration, but ultimately I enjoyed it.

Remember that you’ll need EA Play, which is included with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Game Pass for PC, to take part in the day one fun. If you aren’t already subscribed, you can check out the offering for just 1$ and then $9.99 and $14.99 monthly.
Knockout City will be available to play on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (Steam/Origin) on May 21st, 2021. Are you looking forward to Knockout City when it finally gets released? Let us know in the comments!
