EA Access for Xbox One: Play EA Games Up to Five Days Before the Release Date

[The JareBear]

Hasn't EA been "buddy buddy" with MS for awhile? I echo Aholbert, really glad I own both. Will game on my PS4 but will enjoy early access on my One for sure. This is definitely a nice notch on the belt for One users.

So..I pay $30 a year for access to old games and then get a $5 discount for new ones. And the purchases have to be digital which I cant resell or put towards another game? Yea no thanks not for me, but I see how it could be appealing for people who buy all digital and purchase a bunch of EA games yearly.

Wow, this is a no brainer. Besides the sports titles you'll have Battlefield, Battlefront, Mirrors Edge, Mass Effect, and so on.

And it's $5 a month or just $30 for the year. Absolute steal. Only thing better would be if it didn't have to be digital. If you could preorder, pay it off completely without the possibility of cancelling, and then download the full game for 5 days early access until you get your physical disc. That would be too good to be true

You also get early access to new games.

Didn't realize those titles were availible too. Hopfully psn will have something like this. At least season ticket was for both 360 and ps3

Now if battlefield was one of the early access titles then that would be a different story. This doesn't sound like a smart move IMO.

More than just the sports titles, the new Dragon Age is included in early access.

With them breaking from the sports - themed program we could conceivably see every EA title available early at some point.
