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!

*Conditions, limitations and exclusions apply. See www.ea.com/eaaccess for details.

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."

Yeah, a reddit user commented that EA has been having trouble today or something like that, and that it will be out later today, or in the next couple of days.

I am pretty sure of what I am saying but I am not 100% sure, so yeah...

I saw the "it will be out today" thread on reddit as well. The following picture was posted.

Yeah, I'm just sharing with you what I know, when I saw that picture I contacted support on my country and said it would be releasing today. Let's hope it's today, although it does seems difficult.

I read somewhere it would be available at gamestop. If that's the case, I'll trade in fifa and battlefield towards the year price.
 
# 388 iNolaNightmare @ 08/05/14 03:37 PM
Just called Gamestop and the guy thought that it had to be purchased over the servers. Said they don't have it.

Update: called another gamestop. They also said it's being done via the servers and it's still in beta.


I think Gamestop needs to get it together.
 
# 389 Smooth Grizzly @ 08/05/14 06:46 PM
I've read a few articles online saying it would be available at gamestop. I wouldn't believe what the associates are saying. One guy at my local store just told me Madden wasn't available for the additional 40% trade in credit offer. I asked to talk to the other guy and he was like "yeah, your all set". So I traded in fifa 14 and battlefield and $10 in cash considerations for Madden 15.

It's a sweet deal if this thing works out though. If you have any of the games coming to this ea vault and you trade it towards a newer game, the ea access pays for itself, no matter if you buy online or in store.

I got the early access and signed up for the $5 plan just so I can try Madden before i go through with purchasing it. I also got Battlefield 4 and Madden 25 for "free" for the month so its not a bad trade off if you ask me.

It was in my inbox.
Were you invited to the Xbox early preview program?

I read over at Reddit that the EA Access was supposed to have been released to the public on Tuesday, but encountered problems.

No problem.

Right now it's nothing special, but it's going to great to play new games 5 days prior to release.

It should be out soon. I bet EA is itching itself to death to release it. I imagine Microsoft is holding things up with its approval systems.
 
# 396 BFem09 @ 08/07/14 02:18 PM
so we still don't know when the full release of this is?
 
# 397 mestevo @ 08/07/14 02:21 PM
No, we still don't know when the full release of the program announced 9 days ago is.
 
# 398 Jet Sufferer @ 08/07/14 03:30 PM
Still looking for an invite if anyone can help me out.
