EA Access is an innovative subscription service for gamers that provides digital titles you can play without having to pay full price. It seems to work best for sports gamers who are interested in trying new games and having early access to blockbuster games before their official release date.

With EA access, you can choose to pay either $4.99 per month or $29.99 per year to access a variety of different games, all of which are housed in what is called the Vault. This Vault is just a collection of different games that you can access as a subscriber to the EA Access service. By subscribing to EA Access, you can download and play games from the Vault without having to pay full price for them. They are all digital and there is no need to purchase a disc to play them.

At first, EA Access was very limited in its platforms. It started as a service only available to gamers who wanted Xbox One games. Now, it is also open to the Xbox 360 platform, meaning that Xbox 360 games are now stocked and available in the Vault. In order to use and play the games, you have to have an active subscription to the service. So, if you decide to stop paying for the service for some period of time, you no longer have access to the games you’ve downloaded from the Vault. They go away when the payments to the service end.

One of the biggest pros to becoming an EA Access subscriber is that with the service comes access to games five days earlier than they are released to the public. So, if you are awaiting Madden 19 and want to be able to play it 5 days earlier than anyone else, becoming an EA Access subscriber will allow you to do that. In addition to the pro of early access to popular games, subscribers also receive a discount of 10% on any downloads or video games purchased from the Xbox store.

There are a lot of titles in the Vault available for play by EA Access subscribers and many of them are sports related. So it is a service that tends to appeal greatly to sports gamers. So, if you want to play Madden 19 early and experience some other sports games, like UFC 2, NHL 17, NBA Live 17 or FIFA 17, EA Access might be for you.

There are a lot of pros to purchasing a subscription to EA Access. At only $4.99 a month, it won’t take long to earn your money back, particularly when you take into account the 10% discount offered to subscribers. And there are a great number of titles available to play through the Vault. There is really nothing to lose and no obligation. If you find that it isn’t worth it for you, you can always cancel the service. But at the very least, you would get to play Madden 19 five days earlier than anyone who doesn’t subscribe to EA Access.
