EA has an upcoming “all you can play” PC subscription service called Origin Access. (Sorry Mac and Linux users, it’s not available for you at this time.) The service is set to start on February 4th, 2016, at a cost of $4.99 USD per month.
This subscription gives you access to a “Vault” containing some of EA’s top titles, which will eventually include non-EA titles. The Vault is currently offering Dragon Age: Inquisition, Battlefield Hardline, Battlefield 4, FIFA 16, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, and more. So as of today it has 15 games, but EA says that number is going to grow as time goes on.
Members will also will get the ability to play upcoming EA games before they are released and get an automatic 10% discount on Origin purchases, which includes pre-orders, full games, DLCs and FIFA points. The games in Access will vary by each country’s local laws.
To order the service on Feb. 4th, you will need a credit card or a PayPal account. Anything you order via this service only applies to the digital downloads that are provided via Origin — in other words, you don’t get the discount at a retailer.
Do you think this new service will fly or die? Let us know down in the comments section.
