About nine months ago Electronic Arts announced Origin Access, their monthly subscription service that gives gamers access to their AAA titles for a monthly fee. It was started a modeled after the successful EA Access initiative on Xbox One. In the U.S. the monthly fee is $4.99, which gives you access to many great AAA titles for as long as you are subscribed.
EA has just announced a new set of games that have been added to Origin Access:
– Star Wars Battlefront
– Mirror’s Edge Catalyst
– Need for Speed Most Wanted
– Crusader: No Remorse
– Crusader: No Regret (in select regions)
– Ultima Collection (in select regions)
The big one that stands out is Star Wars Battlefront, which is one of our favorite games here at ThinkComputers. The entire library of games in Origin Access is pretty great if you don’t already own the titles. If that is not enough to get you on Origin Access EA is sweetening the deal giving Origin Access members the ability to play Battlefield 1 5 days before it officially comes out, for 10 hours.
