Today, EA revealed EA Access, an Xbox One-exclusive subscription service that grants players access to EA's so-called Vault.

Subscribing to EA Access will cost $4.99 a month (or $29.99 a year), and since the program is technically in beta, only four games will initially be available: FIFA 14Madden NFL 25Peggle 2, andBattlefield 4, "with more titles being added soon."

Additionally, EA Access will also net subscribers 10 percent discounts on all EA digital content, which includes full games and DLC, as well as access to trials of new EA games nearly a week before they come out (with saves that copy over to the final game, should you choose to purchase it later). Games that will be eligible for early access and save copy-over are Madden NFL 15, NHL 15, FIFA 15, NBA Live 15, and Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Memberships can be purchased on Xbox Live, and will also be available at retail stores like GameStop and online destinations like Amazon. The subscription service will launch "soon," according to EA, and will be available in North America and Europe.

doesn't seem to bad surprised its a xbox exclusive though



that sounds pretty cool tbh. More competition causes more deals for the consumer, always good news.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Um, this actually sounds pretty awesome. Though I think it would be much better later in the gen with more of a backlog. I already own BF4 and PvZ, already played Madden 25, and not a big soccer guy.



Play a growing number of EA games over the course of its business?

That's hundreds of games literally. I'd totally sign up for this



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Hot damn EA

That is actually pretty amazing pricing.....Have to give them big props on this, I probably am going to sign up for the 1 year to be honest.

"Unprecedented partnership"



This is very close to what I was thinking Nintendo should do

$29.99 a year isn't bad at all. If they add in ME4 and DA:I it would be well worth it. It would give me access to all those sport games I don't purchase but friends love to play!



Sounds good to me. Will have to see how it works out when finally available though. This service will not reamin exclusive for long if succesful.
