For $5 a month or $30 a year, EA Access lets subscribers download and play the a selection of the publisher’s Xbox One titles such as Battlefield 4, Peggle 2 and Madden NFL 25. Unlike similar services like Xbox Live Gold and PlayStation Plus, EA told Game Informer that they have no plans to remove games from their virtual “vault.”
Additionally, the service gives members a 10% discount on digital Xbox One games as well as access to demos of certain select titles five days before their official release date. Titanfall isn’t included in EA Access. EA previously offered a similar early access program called EA Season Ticket that gave subscribers early access to titles and discounts on in-game micro-transactions. EA Access seems to be the Xbox One version of the company’s last-generation subscription plan offering.
While it hasn’t been confirmed yet, it’s believed an Xbox Live Gold Subscription, priced at $59.99, is also required to subscribe to EA Access. The service will likely be useless for people who already own EA’s lineup of titles but it’s a great deal if you missed some of the publishers bigger titles this year.
There’s no word yet on whether EA Access will eventually make its way to other gaming platforms like the PlayStation 4.
