We detailed EA Access’ benefits a while back, but here’s a refresher. Subscribers get 10% off EA games, discounts on in-game items and DLC, early access and special trials for select games, and access to the EA Vault, which is basically EA’s digital library of games for a given platform.
All this is for $4.99 a month, or $29.99 for a year.
There’s only been one game available for an early trial so far, Anthem. However, Madden 20’s early trial opens on July 25 ahead of its August 2 launch, and FIFA 20 will getting an early trial before it launches on September 27.
The big attraction, though, is the EA Vault. Here are all the EA Access PS4 games available with a subscription:
FIFA 15 FIFA 16 FIFA 17 FIFA 18 FIFA 19 Madden NFL 15 Madden NFL 16 Madden NFL 17 Madden NFL 18 Madden NFL 19 Madden NFL 25 NBA Live 15 NBA Live 16 NBA Live 18 NBA Live 19 NHL 16 NHL 17 NHL 18 NHL 19 Rory McIlroy PGA Tour UFC UFC 2 UFC 3 A Way Out Battlefield 1 Battlefield 4 Battlefield Hardline Battlefield V Burnout Paradise Remastered Dragon Age Inquisition Fe Mass Effect Andromeda Mirror’s Edge Catalyst Need for Speed (2015) Need for Speed Payback Need for Speed Rivals Peggle 2 Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 Star Wars Battlefront Star Wars Battlefront II The Sims 4 Titanfall 2 Unravel Unravel Two
It’s pretty easy to see the game list skews towards sports games. The Xbox One subscription supports backwards compatibility with Xbox 360 titles, which means it gets a slightly more varied catalog — more Dragon Age, more Peggle, Alice: The Madness Returns, and some other smatterings of older EA games.
It amounts to a full three additional pages of games for Xbox One in the EA Vault, so it goes without saying those who prefer sports games or just want the discounts get the better deal here.
Perhaps the catalog will grow as time goes on.
