Need for Speed, Unravel and more join EA Access

A bunch of new titles are joining EA Access over the next few months.

Monthly fee aside, EA’s Xbox One-exclusive subscription program is actually a pretty solid deal. There are a load of top games already on Access, that you can play anytime you like after all.

That roster is about to get a bit bigger too. Shortly, you can expect the inclusion of some more of the publisher’s biggest IPs. If you like Need for Speed, PvsZ, and EA’s sports series’, then you’re going to dig the additions.

Here’s what’s on the way, complete with dates of arrival:

More than just a play-all-you-want plan for the games in the Vault, EA Access gives subscribers a host of bonuses. For starters there’s a 10% discount on all EA games that you purchase (on Xbox One). And then there are the Play First Trials.

Those are golden if you’re looking forward to DICE’s Battlefield 1, which officially arrives on October 21st. The Play-First-Trial actually begins October 13th, which gives you a solid head start on everybody else.
