Those with a subscription will be able to:
– Enjoy early trials and try new EA games before they’re released.
– Get 10% off EA digital purchases on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.
– Get instant access to a collection of PlayStation 4 or Xbox One games.
History and Expansion of EA Access
EA Access first launched on the Microsoft Xbox One console back in 2014. The service was initially met with skepticism, but it quickly gained popularity due to its extensive library of games and exclusive benefits. In 2016, EA expanded the service to PC systems under the name Origin Access, which further broadened its user base. Now, in 2019, EA Access has finally arrived on the PlayStation 4, much to the delight of PlayStation users who have been eagerly awaiting its release.
The inclusion of PlayStation 4 in the EA Access ecosystem marks a significant milestone for EA, as it now covers all major gaming platforms. This expansion allows more gamers to experience the benefits of EA Access, such as early trials of upcoming games and discounts on digital purchases. The service’s arrival on PlayStation 4 also means that popular EA titles like FIFA 20 and Madden 20 are now more accessible to a wider audience.
Benefits and Features of EA Access
One of the standout features of EA Access is the ability to enjoy early trials of new EA games before they are officially released. This feature allows subscribers to play a limited version of the game for up to 10 hours, giving them a taste of what’s to come and helping them decide whether to purchase the full game. This early access can be particularly beneficial for gamers who are on the fence about a new release.
Another significant benefit is the 10% discount on EA digital purchases. This discount applies to full games, downloadable content (DLC), and even in-game currency. Over time, these savings can add up, making the subscription cost-effective for regular EA game purchasers.
Subscribers also get instant access to a collection of games from the EA Vault. This library includes a wide range of titles, from sports games like FIFA and Madden to action-packed adventures like Battlefield and Star Wars Battlefront. The Vault is continually updated with new games, ensuring that there is always something new to play.
