Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Got nothing else better to do? Might as well rebrand! Quote An EA Access page recently appeared on Steam, promising that the subscription-based service is "coming soon" to the storefront. But it won't be known as EA Access when it goes live: Electronic Arts announced today that on August 18 it will bring EA Access and Origin Access, the PC subscription service offered through its Origin storefront, together under a single, new name of EA Play. The basics of the service will be unchanged. Subscribers will have access to the same library of EA games and pre-release trial versions currently offered through EA and Origin Access, and will still get ten percent off any purchases they make. For more committed fans, Origin Access Premier, with unlimited access to a wider range of EA games including new releases, is also sticking around, but will be known as EA Play Pro.

Jason Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I apparently completely missed the news about EA coming back to Steam, I would have bought Mass Effect 3 on the last Steam sale if I had realized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the contrary I believe their catalog does warrant a subscription. They have a ton of stuff not worth owning. So subscribe for $30 a year or $5 a month play what you want and don't re-up. If you're into sports games it's a way better deal than paying $70 for a copy of madden. Play Mass Effect Andromeda for very little money, basically how much it was originally worth.

cusideabelincoln Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 If you're into Madden it makes sense. But I'm not sure why it makes sense for EA to have the service. Like you said I would personally use it as a one month rental for either the $15 or $5... in which case it seems like EA would be better off providing their games to Microsoft's Game Pass.

EA Access existed before Game Pass though and EA Access is cheaper than game pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cusideabelincoln Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 But EA Access has sucked the last couple of years with the only notable release being Fallen Order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
