EA Announces ‘EA Access,’ A New Subscription Service For Xbox One

4.5

Electronic Arts, publisher behind franchises like Battlefield, Madden, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and more, has announced a new subscription service exclusively for Microsoft’s Xbox One that allows subscribers to play games in their fullest for only $5 a month.

“The Vault” as EA calls it, is a collection of their latest titles that allow subscribers to download and play in their fullest and for an unlimited amount of time. The catch is, for those wondering, is that titles in the vault aren’t there forever, and some games might not even be included. With that said, EA has not come out and stated how long each title will be in the vault for.

Along with those features, subscribers will also receive a 10% discount on full game downloads and subscription services offered on the Microsoft store, and will be able to demo new games before they are released up to 5 days.

If this deal sounds good to you, go ahead and visit the Xbox Live Store to purchase a month pass for $5 or an annual pass for just $30. You’ll get access to 4 games for the beta, which are Battlefield 4, Peggle 2, FIFA 14, and Madden NFL 25.

This is a really cool feature and seems like this is a new concept that hopefully spreads to other developers as I enjoy playing new games but most of the time will only play them a handful of times. The rice is very reasonable for what you are getting. I might go look at this right now. It's cheaper then Netflix and XBL Gold.

Might as well pay $30/year than pay $5/month which is $60/year. I am DEFINITELY getting this.

For the beta of this service, the game selection isn't bad. Unfortunately, I already own some of those, so I might as well wait to see what games show up in the vault next. For $5 a month, this will save me a lot of money by letting me try out games for an extended period of time without purchasing it, so I can see if I like it or not.
