Announcing EA Access for Xbox One: The Best Way to Play EA’s Games

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.

EA Access is a totally new way for you to play more of the games you love, for less. Here’s a rundown of the additional benefits EA Access members will get:

Awesome Value – Besides the great games in The Vault, EA Access members will save 10% on purchases of EA digital content for Xbox One offered through the Xbox Games Store. From full digital-download titles like the upcoming Dragon Age™ Inquisition or NHL®15, to additional membership services such as Battlefield 4 Premium or even FIFA Ultimate Team points, it’s all 10% off for members.*

Play First – Membership in EA Access lets you experience trials of new EA games up to five days before the release date.* It starts with Madden NFL 15, NHL 15, FIFA 15, NBA LIVE 15, and Dragon Age: Inquisition, but more are on the way. If you decide to buy the game, your progress will carry over so you can pick up right where you left off.

You can join EA Access for just $4.99 per month, or you can purchase an annual membership for $29.99 per year on Xbox LIVE®.

Soon, fans of GameStop will be able to purchase their EA Access membership in local retail stores. GameStop and Amazon will also carry EA Access memberships for Xbox One gamers across Europe, as well as EB Games in Canada.

Excited to check it out? EA Access will launch on Xbox One soon. You will find more information on the program at the EA Access website. Be sure to follow EA Access on Facebook and Twitter as well.

Stay tuned!

UPDATE: EA just added their FAQ.

UPDATE #2: Here is the official response from Sony.

We don’t think asking our fans to pay an additional $5 a month for this EA-specific program represents good value to the PlayStation gamer."

Its only in beta for select users right. Should go public in a week or so.

I read in another message board that beta users can invite friends to it. Is that true?

Typical console wars crap doesn't belong in this thread or on this forum. We'll be ceasing that line of discussion now. Thanks for your cooperation.

I downloaded it yesterday and already paid the $30 for the annual subscription. I paid the $25 for the Season Ticket on the 360. I am a fan sir.

You can invite users into the XBOX Preview program [which is cool in itself]. Once you are a member of that you should get a message with a code to download the EA Access app. That's how it works.

bought it for the year . ill decide this time next year if it was worth it. but at the moment picking up Fifa, Battlefield 4 for $30 is pretty solid deal for me. i hope they add Need for Speed to the vault soon.

the 10% off other incoming games while not much. is pretty nice considering i buy most my games digital. so getting games like Dragon Age Inquisition, Madden,fifa, hopefully Battlefield Hardline at the discount rate will be worth it for me.

Early Access to all the games is just the cream on top for me .

Good news. I got the invite to the preview program this morning when I turned on my box, searched for the EA app, but saw nothing, so I guess that's why. I'll keep trying to be patient lol Thanks again hooking me up!

You should get a seep rate message from XBOX with a code. The code is what allows access to the app. Hopefully you will get that soon.

How many days did it take to get the preview invite?
 
# 239 jwagner82 @ 07/31/14 09:42 AM
If it says "at least 2 hours" that's a minimum.. which makes me think every single game they know will sell (Madden included) will have a 2 - 4 hour window, which personally is no where near worth 5 bucks for me. I can wait a few days and actually work on a franchise

I just installed the preview app and my acceptance is pending. How long does it take to get accepted and is the code sent in an email or can I find the EA program in game store?
