Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Dragon Age: Inquisition - Now for free in the EA Access Vault

Dragon Age: Inquisition is now available for members to download for free.

This Service keeps getting better and better and has more than paid itself off for me. I recommended anyone with an Xbox One to purchase this even if you don't like sports games (Titanfall, Battlefield, PVZ, Dragon Age, Need for Speed Rivals and Peggle 2) for those who do, its a no brainier.

Plus, It provides Early Access to all EA games with over 6-10 hour trials for the full game.

Vault now includes:

Battlefield 4
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Fifa 14
Fifa 15
Madden 25
Madden 15
NBA Live 15
Need for Speed Rivals
NHL 15
Peggle 2
Plants VS Zombies Garden Warfare
Titanfall
UFC

All for $4.99 per month or $29.99 per year!

Five games on that list that I'm interested in now. Fairly new games, too. Have they ever removed any games from the vault? I remember that was a concern before it launched.



Sony really shouldn't have declined Access.

I don't think many Xbox owners were ever really concerned about it

Short answer is no.

Unfortunately some of their fans did like that decision.

IIRC EA said games will never leave the vault. Though, imho in a couple years it wouldn't make sense to have Madden 25, Madden 15, Madden 16, Madden 17, etc all available.

As for Dragon Age, awesome. Any time I know I am gonna buy an EA title, I sign up for a month of EA Access first because they literally paying you $1 to do so. One month of the service $5. Then 10% off of a $60 title = $6. So you save a dollar and get to play all these games for a month. And I know I am buying Madden later this month.

PS owners who are fans of EA games are really missing out. I wonder though... is this like, all their next gen games? Wonder what is left that they can put into the vault. I guess there is golf.

I agree with their decision. I don't dispute the value of EA Access in itself, and with DA:I it finally has a game I'd be interested in if I didn't already own it. But I don't like the publisher based subscription model at a conceptual level. The platform based subscription model is better because it gives you access to a much wider and bigger library of games over time. With PSN+ (and GwG I assume) there have been hundreds of games made available and from all (or most) publishers. And with Rocket League as an example we even occasionally get new release games, so no waiting time at all. Only being available for one month isn't a big deal, because one month is plenty of time to decide whether you want the game. From my perspective PSN+ is better value in the long run, and having EA Access on PS platforms is redundant. I don't know if EA spat the dummy and refuses to let Sony put EA games on PSN+, but I can definitely see many of the best EA games coming to PSN+ in the future. Publishers still get a cut of every game downloaded through the PSN+ offers, so it's still a revenue source. I have Bioshock Infinite and Tomb Raider 2013 thanks to PSN+, will they be coming to EA Access any time soon? No, because they aren't EA games.

I think Steam could do a Steam Access thing along the same lines for PC. Though in some respects their unlra-specials amount to almost the same thing, and once you have the game it's yours forever.

I assume it's only the base retail games that are in the vault, the DLC you'll still have to buy.

Yesss. If you have an Xbox One, EA Access is the best deal you could ever hope for! Glad I waited for DA: I.



Still not enough value :)
Seriously, EA Access is a very great value and to me it's a shame that Sony didn't let the customers decide if they want it.

Hehe, sweet. I wish they'd bring it to PC. I'd probably sign up for at least a couple months.
