On Tuesday, EA made a huge announcement. Beginning on Tuesday, EA and Microsoft are rolling out a new feature to the Xbox One: EA Access. Essentially, EA Access is a sort-of Netflix for games. Here is a bit of EA’s official statement:

We have partnered with Microsoft to deliver EA Access, an all-new monthly (or annual) membership for gamers exclusively on Xbox One that starts at just $4.99 a month. The service is being rolled out in beta to a limited number of players today, but it will launch for everyone on Xbox One soon…EA Access membership unlocks The Vault, a collection of EA’s biggest games on Xbox One ready for you to download and play. During the beta, gamers will have unlimited access to four great EA games: FIFA 14, Madden NFL 25, Peggle 2 and Battlefield 4™, with more titles being added soon. That’s over $100 worth of games for $4.99 a month. You can play these EA favorites as much as you want with the click of a button.¹

What’s more, EA Access will also include early access to games. The new platform will allow subscribers to demo trial versions of new games up to five days before they are released. “It starts with Madden NFL 15, NHL 15, FIFA 15, NBA LIVE 15, and Dragon Age: Inquisition, but more are on the way. If you decide to buy the game, your progress will carry over so you can pick up right where you left off.”²
