EA Access gives you PS Plus-like access to some of their big games

EA today unveiled an exclusive Xbox One subscription service they call EA Access.

The service will let those who spend $5 USD a month, or $30 USD a year, get free rental access to specific EA titles including Battlefield 4, FIFA 14, Madden NFL 25 and Peggle 2.

EA Access members also receive 10% off digital Xbox One content — including the digital versions of titles like NHL 15 and Dragon Age: Inquisition — and early access on big titles by as much as 5 days prior to launch. That early access will only give access to a “limited” amount of the game, so don’t expect to finish a title before others can even play it.

EA Access isn’t for all titles either; Titanfall is “excluded from all EA Access features”. Furthermore, Xbox Live Gold is required for the program.

We’ve yet to confirm Australian availability and pricing.

Update: EA Australia has confirmed that EA Access will be available in this country. Subscriptions will cost $6.99 AUD a month or $39.99 AUD a year.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
