EA Access - Coming Soon to Xbox One
Update
EA Australia have confirmed that the program will be coming here and local gamers can expect to pay $6.99 a month for the EA Access program. Or should you wish to pay in one simple yearly payment, $39.99 for 12 months. No date has been announced for when it will go live though.
Original Story
EA have announced that they are partnering with Microsoft to provide gamers will unlimted access to a selected range of EA titles on Xbox One for a low monthly subscription fee, think of it as Netflix but for EA games on your Xbox One. No word on local support yet, I will reach out for comment.
Aside from unlimited gameplay from a range of titles, players will also get early access to games, discounts on purchasing full games and more.
Today we’re revealing a new way for gamers to play more EA games. This is something we’ve never done before and we’re excited to share it with you.
We have partnered with Microsoft to deliver EA Access, an all-new monthly (or annual) membership for gamers exclusively on Xbox One that starts at just $4.99 a month. The service is being rolled out in beta to a limited number of players today, but it will launch for everyone on Xbox One soon. At EA, we are always looking for new ways to make it easier for gamers to play more EA games across all platforms, and we are excited about what EA Access will offer to players on Xbox One.
EA Access membership unlocks The Vault, a collection of EA’s biggest games on Xbox One ready for you to download and play. During the beta, gamers will have unlimited access to four great EA games: FIFA 14, Madden NFL 25, Peggle 2 and Battlefield 4™, with more titles being added soon. That’s over $100 worth of games for $4.99 a month. You can play these EA favorites as much as you want with the click of a button.
