Why EA Play?
EA Play puts you at the center of the experience. Moving all the benefits to a single brand is an important step in streamlining our services to ensure that being an EA Play member is the best way to play.
What Do I Get with EA Play?
As we mentioned earlier, members will be able to access exclusive in-game challenges and rewards, unlock special member-only content, play early trials of brand-new titles, get instant access to a collection of our best-loved series and top titles, and save 10% on EA digital purchases, from full games to DLC. But what do we mean by exclusive challenges, rewards, and content?
That will vary from title to title, but we’re talking things like early access challenges and rewards like Ultimate Team Packs, exclusive vanity items and cosmetics, and more. Make sure your EA Account email preferences are switched on so you’ll be the first to know what’s available with your membership on your favorite upcoming titles like Madden NFL 21, FIFA 21, and Star Wars™: Squadrons. You can also visit our game websites and the EA.com News page for updates.
What About the Annual EA Play Event?

EA I Don't Want to Play
They can call it the Confabulous Playatorium of Professor Horation Hufnagel, but I'm still not buying their crap.
Wow at blind hate for EA. Hard to believe that ppl dont realize how great value EA Origins is. For just 30$ a year you get access to huge number of big games like Crysis series, Mass Effect series, Battlefied, Star Wars, Madden, Fifa etc... Well i guess its popular to hate EA even tho they changed alot in past 2 years.
EA has also promised to change many, many times in the past. It never lasts, because they keep trying to sneak other monetization schemes into their games. And on top of their anti-consumer crap, I find their games to be bland pabulum. They'd be a lot better if the NFL and FIFA wouldn't give them exclusive licenses, because then they would actually have to compete.
Not a service type I really want to succeed. But good for people that likes EA games and buy a lot of them.
People forgetting.in their rush to hate of everything EA that EA access was the first of it's kind and is a great deal for anyone interested in EA games.
Unfortunately I'm not interested in any of EA's games, so....
Access sounded horrible.
they still havent released starwars jedi on access sheesh theyre a bit stingy ey?!
Maybe the big xbox game pass news is EA play is going to be combined with xbox game pass.
