With Electronic Arts' EA Access off to a "great start" and performing "extremely well" on Xbox One, the publisher/developer is now looking to expand its gaming service to other platforms. Announced today, Origin Access looks to offer "endless PC gaming" for just a small monthly fee, similar to Xbox One's EA Access program.
For just $4.99 a month, subscribers will have access to a growing collection of PC games offered through EA's Origin service. At launch, there are 15 titles available in the catalog (aka The Vault):
- Battlefield 4 Digital Deluxe
- Dragon Age: Inquisition Digital Deluxe
- Battlefield Hardline Digital Deluxe
- Battlefield 3
- SimCity
- FIFA 15
- Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare
- Need for Speed Rivals: Complete Edition
- Dead Space 3
- Dragon Age II
- Dead Space 2
- Dead Space
- Dragon Age Origins – Ultimate Edition
- The Sims 3 Starter Pack
- This War of Mine
Like EA Access, the entire catalog of games offered for the small monthly price will continue to grow. In addition to the games, Origin Access members will receive 10% on Origin purchases and early access to new EA games before they're released.
Origin Access is available right now. You can join here.
Unfortunately, one platform this sort of all-access program won't be coming to is PlayStation, as a Sony representative previously said the service "does not bring the kind of value PlayStation customers have come to expect." $4.99 for all these games? Not so sure I agree with Sony on this one.
