IGN:
According to the EA support website, EA Access game trials - which allow subscribers to play new EA games five days before release - are not equivalent to game demos. "Unlike demos, which are stand-alone chunks of the game meant to give you a taste but don’t provide the full experience," the page reads, "when you play a trial through EA Access, you're playing the real game for a limited time, five days before the release date."
Electronic Arts has unveiled how EA Access will be arriving on Steam and 'coming soon'.
Featuring the complete nanosuit experience, The Crysis Trilogy has now joined the EA Access vault as a title that's free for those that subscribe to the EA service on Xbox One consoles.
It's been revealed that EA Access will be coming to Steam in the near future, as various EA games have been added to the storefront.
Sweet.
Great program, great value. Those 5 day trials are going to be awesome, playing a game early can save you 65$ if you dont find it worth the money. Also whatever you do in the trials gets transferred to the actual game. 10% off all purchases, and the vault is definitely awesome. All around great program by EA, nice job.
The more I hear about EA Access, the better it sounds. Definitely gonna subscribe.
"Moore also reiterated that EA has no plans to remove games from The Vault. "I think one of the key things is that once a game goes into the Vault it stays there, it's not going to be taken out, that's a commitment we've made."
To be honest, that nails it for me. It's an absolute bargain for £20 a year. As a PS4 owner I have to say that Sony's decision to snub it because it isn't "good value to a PlayStation gamer" is clearly to protect their own agenda. I don't want a ton of subscriptions and given the choice of this or PS Now, PS Now would be brushed aside.
Even better news was already going to get this day one
