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."

I keep thinking the program will go live and I won't need a preview code, but now I'm thinking I may as well go the safe route and ask.

Would anyone with an invite please send it my way?

Thanks in advance if anyone has one.

For those that got invited, I still haven't received my invite from a week ago. I think Glenn invited me and I still haven't got my code. I doubt they're letting anymore users try out the beta.

I got my invite to the Preview Program on Monday, and MS considered my console officially registered Tuesday.

Last night I got my invite to the EA Access beta. I think all of this stuff is just completely random. Give it some more time.

In the meantime, anyone who adds me to their friends list will get an invite from me to the Xbox preview program tonight. I'll leave everyone on my friends list until they are accepted; just don't be offended if you get deleted afterwards

My gt is: DP DrkDetective

I gotta give thanks to a super cool dude named JPSoccer4 over at dayonepatch.com for my hookup. (Yup, shameless gaming board plug lol)

I wouldn't be surprised if the EA Access doesn't go live real soon. They were on Twitter giving gratitude to those of whom participated in the Beta.

Madden 15 will be out next week for the service so it's likely they'd release it before then.
 
# 416 friscob @ 08/11/14 02:14 PM
Just got an email from EA saying ea access is live
 
# 417 Gorilla Glass @ 08/14/14 10:44 AM
So, a week from today EA Access members will be playing Madden NFL 15.

My question, is there any buzz on the time they will allow the download to begin?

I'm hoping it's up at 12AM. That way I'll download for morning play. Can't wait!

I expect we'll get some information soon on this along with confirmation on restrictions if any aside from no MUT.

Didn't the last gen season ticket have a countdown timer on it.
