EA Play (formerly EA Access and Origin Access) is a subscription-based video game service from Electronic Arts for the Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Windows platforms, offering access to selected games published by Electronic Arts along with additional incentives.

As launched, EA Play was pitched to both Microsoft for the Xbox One and Sony for the PlayStation 4, although Sony initially declined to participate as they did not believe it provided value to their customers.[1] EA Play launched first to Xbox One on August 11, 2014, it later arrived to PlayStation 4 on July 24, 2019[2] and then to Steam on August 31, 2020.[3] EA Play is also bundled with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC for no additional cost.

Overview

[edit]

EA Play membership can be purchased in one-month or twelve-month increments.[4] Members have unlimited access to the full versions of a selection of games published by EA, dubbed "the Vault", for as long as their membership is active.[4] If membership is suspended, the games can no longer be played, but all progress and game saves are retained. Members may also purchase games available from EA Play outright, along with other EA games and DLC, at a discounted price.[4] EA Play does not require users to have a paid Xbox Live membership, although a Gold-level membership is required for use of any multiplayer features that are included in Access-enabled games.[5]

Games are added to The Play List (previously known as The Vault) at EA's discretion, such as making a title available on Access a set number of days after its retail launch.[6] Although the Terms of Service allow EA to remove titles with 30 days' notice,[6] EA initially pledged that games will not be removed at a later date.[6] However, EA announced on July 20, 2017, that FIFA 14 would be removed on October 18, 2017, due to the decision to end online support for the title.[7] The game will remain playable in offline mode for users who installed it prior to its removal date, but if the game is removed from the console after that date, it cannot be reinstalled.[8] EA described the removal of FIFA 14 as a "unique circumstance specific to the title" that was not representative of their future plans for EA Play.[8] On April 26, 2018, it was initially announced that Rory McIlroy PGA Tour would also be removed on May 22, 2018, due to the game being delisted from the Xbox Store on that date, although, as of May 2021, the game remains available and playable on the service.[9] In 2020–2021 many third-party games were removed, and in April 2021 EA began removing older EA Sports games from the service.

Subscribers can play selected titles for a limited time of eight hours, this does not apply to the "Pro" subscription tier. EA described these early-release versions as not being more traditional demos, but instead full-featured but time-limited versions, with the exact extent of content varying from game to game.[10] Any progress earned within these limited versions will carry over to the full retail version.[4]

Games published on the EA Partners and/or EA Originals labels were initially not eligible for EA Play benefits.[11] However, Titanfall was added to the Vault in June 2015, as part of an E3 2015 promotion that also enabled a free trial for all Xbox One owners.[12] Titanfall 2 was also added in July 2017. However, EA Originals titles, such as A Way Out, Rocket Arena and Sea of Solitude, were added into the service. Additionally, it was announced that the forthcoming EA Originals title Knockout City would be available on the service (regardless of subscription tier) on its May 21, 2021, release date.[13]

EA Play subscribers are able to receive downloadable content for games in the Vault free at during various limited time periods, such as the Naval Strike and Second Assault DLCs for Battlefield 4.[14] Subscribers who download the free DLCs offered during the free period are able to keep them regardless of subscription status. On May 3, 2016, Premium access for Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline were offered free for a limited period of time, enabling subscribers to download all released expansions for both games at no cost.[15] Although Battlefield 4 Premium content can only be accessed with an active subscription, subscribers were allowed to keep Hardline Premium features regardless of subscription status. The season pass for Star Wars Battlefront was made available at no cost for subscribers on July 7, 2017.[16]

History

[edit]

On February 29, 2016, EA Play expanded to include Xbox 360 titles via the Xbox One's backward compatibility feature, starting with the original Plants vs. Zombies.[17] Dead Space was added (without any official announcement) on March 31.[18] On January 17, 2018, Black, released for Xbox in 2006, was added to the Vault.

EA announced that alongside bringing its catalog back to Steam in October 2019, that it would also release a version of EA Play for Steam users with a library comparable to the Xbox and PlayStation versions.[19] The first set of these games were added to Steam in June 2020.[20][21]

Ahead of the launch of EA Play to Steam on August 31, 2020,[3] EA announced the re-branding of EA Play and Origin Access to EA Play starting August 18, 2020, across both computer and console. The previous basic EA Play and Origin Access Basic subscription tiers would be treated as EA Play, while the Origin Access Premier would become EA Play Pro. No other changes to the service or prices were planned otherwise.[22] EA Play on Steam and EA Play on Origin are separate subscriptions, with the latter having a significantly larger library of games despite being the same price.

EA partnered with Microsoft so that Xbox Game Pass subscribers would have access to the basic EA Play service at no additional cost. It is included in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Game Pass for PC. Xbox users got access to the feature on November 10, 2020, to coincide with the launch of the Xbox Series X/S, whereas the Windows launch was postponed from its original date of December 15, 2020, to March 18, 2021.[23][24][25]

EA has announced plans to retire the Origin client for personal computers in favor of the new EA app to support EA Play and EA Play Pro. The beta for the EA app launched in September 2020.[26] The EA app is required to access EA Play with Xbox Game Pass.[27]

Release and reception

[edit]

EA Play debuted in beta form exclusively on Xbox One on July 29, 2014,[4] and was officially launched on August 11, 2014.[28] Electronic Arts approached both Sony and Microsoft with the service, but Sony declined to make it available on their PlayStation 4 console.[29] A similar version called Origin Access launched on January 12, 2016, on PC.[30]

Shares of video game retailer GameStop, which sells both new and used games, fell over five percent after Electronic Arts' announcement.[31] A similar price drop occurred after PlayStation Now was first announced and that the stock price subsequently recovered.[31] GameStop will be one of the retailers selling EA Play memberships.[31]

EA Play offers two subscription tiers: the standard EA Play membership and the premium EA Play Pro membership, each providing varying levels of access to Electronic Arts' content and benefits. The basic EA Play tier is priced at $5.99 per month or $39.99 per year, granting subscribers unlimited access to a curated library of EA titles known as The Play List, up to 10-hour trials for select releases, 10% discounts on digital purchases of EA games and add-ons, and exclusive in-game member rewards.

Additionally, the basic EA Play tier is bundled at no extra cost with Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscriptions, allowing users to access its features seamlessly through their existing plans, though the Pro tier requires separate purchase.

History

Launch as EA Access

EA Access emerged as Electronic Arts' response to the rising popularity of subscription-based entertainment services, drawing inspiration from models like and to offer gamers ongoing access to a curated library of titles. Announced on July 29, 2014, the service was positioned as an innovative way to play EA games without individual purchases, initially in beta form exclusively for the platform. The full launch occurred on August 11, 2014, with subscriptions priced at $4.99 per month or $29.99 annually, providing unlimited access to "The Vault"—a rotating collection of older EA games that began with four titles: , Madden NFL 25, , and . Early features also included time-limited trials of new releases, typically capped at 5 to 6 hours of gameplay, allowing members to sample upcoming titles like before their official release. Developed in close partnership with , the service emphasized the Xbox One's hardware advantages, including planned support for backward compatibility with select Xbox 360 games to expand the Vault's offerings. Initial reception hailed EA Access as a pioneering step toward subscription gaming, with EA executives noting "amazing" early feedback from users eager for the all-you-can-play model. However, its exclusivity sparked debate, as declined participation, stating the service did not represent sufficient value for owners given the limited initial library. By 2016, the service had achieved significant growth, with the subscriber base more than doubling year-over-year, fueled primarily by strong engagement with sports franchises such as and Madden.

Rebranding and Expansion

In July 2019, expanded its subscription service to the platform through a partnership with , launching EA Access on July 24 and providing subscribers with access to a library of EA titles previously exclusive to and PC. This integration marked a significant broadening of availability, with the service later extending to via for PS4 games, allowing seamless access to the full catalog on the next-generation console. The service underwent a major rebranding in August , unifying EA Access on consoles and Origin Access Basic on PC under the single name EA Play to streamline branding across platforms. This change coincided with the expansion to PC via , where EA Play launched on August 31, enabling subscribers to access the service directly through Valve's platform without needing the Origin client. As part of the rebranding, the premium Origin Access Premier tier was renamed EA Play Pro, introducing day-one unlimited access to select new EA titles—a feature designed to compete with emerging subscription models from other publishers. Further enhancements to PC support came with the transition from the Origin platform to the EA App, which became the primary client for EA Play; Origin was fully shut down on April 17, 2025, requiring all users to migrate for continued access to their libraries and subscriptions. To mark its 10th anniversary in 2024—originating from the 2014 launch of EA Access—EA Play offered promotional discounts, including a reduced first-month subscription rate of $0.99 for new members from August 1 to August 15, aimed at attracting broader adoption. In early 2025, the service continued to evolve with additions to its Play List (formerly known as The Vault), including EA Sports F1 24 on February 20 and Madden NFL 25 on February 6, enhancing the library with recent sports simulations and providing unlimited access to members. EA Play maintains a rotation policy for its game library, periodically adding and removing titles to manage licensing and focus on active content; notable removals include Anthem on August 15, 2025, following the game's server shutdown preparations, and NHL 23 on May 1, 2025.

Platform Integrations

Console Availability

EA Play has been integrated with Xbox consoles since the launch of its predecessor service, EA Access, on Xbox One in August 2014, providing subscribers with access to a rotating library of EA titles known as The Vault. This integration evolved with the rebranding to EA Play and became fully bundled at no extra cost with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which launched in September 2019, allowing seamless access to the EA Play library directly through the Xbox dashboard on Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members can download and play eligible EA titles without additional subscriptions, enhancing the console experience with unified account linking via the EA app or Xbox interface. On PlayStation platforms, EA Play support began in July 2019 for PS4, with compatibility extending to PS5 upon its release in November 2020, available as a standalone subscription purchasable through the . Subscribers can access the service independently or alongside PlayStation Plus, though it is not bundled within the Premium tier; however, select EA titles benefit from PlayStation Plus features like cloud saves and cross-progression in supported games such as series entries. This setup enables PS4 and PS5 users to download Vault games and enjoy 10-hour trials for new releases, with integration via the console's game library for straightforward management. Console-specific benefits of EA Play include offline access to downloaded Vault titles on both Xbox Series X/S and PS5, provided the subscription remains active and initial validation occurs online, allowing uninterrupted single-player play without constant internet connectivity. Additionally, many EA Play titles leverage next-generation hardware enhancements, such as improved resolutions up to 4K, higher frame rates, and advanced graphical features, optimized specifically for Xbox Series X/S and PS5. As of 2025, EA Play continues to be included in Ultimate without reported disruptions, even amid EA's acquisition by a including Saudi Arabia's , Silver Lake, and in September 2025, which emphasizes no immediate operational changes to services like EA Play. This stability ensures ongoing console access, with periodic updates to the library and benefits maintaining the service's value for and PlayStation users.

PC and Other Platforms

Access to EA Play on PC is facilitated through the EA app, which became the mandatory platform following the shutdown of the Origin client on April 17, 2025. The EA app supports 64-bit systems running Windows 7 or later, including Windows 10 and 11, ensuring compatibility with modern PC hardware for seamless gameplay and library management. This transition from Origin was designed to be smooth, with users' accounts, purchased games, and EA Play subscriptions automatically migrating without requiring re-downloads of existing titles, though some users reported minor initial setup adjustments. The EA app integrates essential features like anti-cheat systems for multiplayer titles, enhancing security in games such as Apex Legends and EA Sports FC series. Since August 2020, EA Play subscriptions have been available directly through Steam, enabling users to access the service's game library and trials via the Steam platform. For the basic EA Play tier, subscribers can download and launch eligible games from their Steam library, with the EA app handling authentication in the background, though a full installation of the EA app is typically required for complete functionality and updates. This integration allows PC gamers to manage EA Play benefits alongside their Steam ecosystem without needing a separate Origin or EA app launch for initial access. Support for EA Play on mobile and platforms remains limited as of 2025, with no dedicated native app available for or Android devices. Individual EA titles, such as , can be played on mobile, but the full EA Play and management features are not accessible via a mobile client. Partial gaming support is provided through for subscribers to Ultimate, which bundles EA Play, allowing streaming of select EA titles on compatible devices without local installation. Examples include and other Vault games, though availability depends on regional support and Game Pass inclusion. PC platforms offer exclusive benefits for EA Play members, including the ability to achieve higher frame rates through customizable hardware settings, which is not possible on fixed console hardware. Mod support is available in select Vault games like , where community-created content can enhance gameplay, a feature unique to PC versions. Additionally, many EA titles in the library support cross-play between PC and consoles, enabling multiplayer sessions across platforms in games such as and series. These advantages, combined with the updated EA app's improved library organization post-2025 migration, provide PC users with greater flexibility and customization compared to console experiences.

Content and Benefits

Game Library

The EA Play game library, often referred to as the Play List or Vault, consists of a curated selection of older titles, primarily those released after 2010, providing subscribers with unlimited access to these games and select add-ons during an active membership. The collection emphasizes EA's core franchises and is categorized by genre, with a strong representation in sports titles—such as multiple entries in the and series—and shooters, including the and Star Wars Battlefront series, alongside racing games like . Representation in single-player narrative genres, such as RPGs like the , is comparatively lighter, focusing on select remasters and editions rather than comprehensive coverage. Recent additions in 2025 include Dragon Age: The Veilguard (August 2025) and (October 2025), bolstering the RPG and shooter offerings. Inclusion in the library follows specific criteria, where most titles become available for full access at least six to twelve months after their initial launch to prioritize sales of new releases, though evergreen titles like remain perpetually accessible due to their model with subscription-enhanced features. The library maintains over 100 active games at any given time as of 2025, ensuring a diverse yet focused catalog of EA-published content across platforms. EA manages the library through a rotation policy involving periodic additions and removals, with new titles integrated periodically based on performance and availability, while removals are announced at least 30 days in advance to allow subscribers preparation. This approach keeps the collection dynamic, with updates communicated via official channels, though the exact selection remains at EA's discretion and subject to platform and regional variations. Access to the library is strictly subscription-based, granting temporary play rights without conferring ; subscribers can save progress across sessions, which carries over if the full game is later purchased, but continued access requires an active membership.

Exclusive Rewards and Trials

EA Play Pro subscribers receive day-one full access to premium editions of select new EA titles, allowing unlimited play without time restrictions from launch. For example, members gained immediate access to Battlefield 2042's premium edition upon its November 2021 release, including additional content and extras. Similarly, EA Play Pro provided unlimited access to the Ultimate Edition of EA SPORTS FC 25 starting September 20, 2024, seven days ahead of the standard launch on September 27, offering priority server access and early progression in modes like Ultimate Team. In contrast, standard EA Play members benefit from expanded 10-hour trials for non-Vault new releases, which can be paused by fully quitting the game to halt the timer and resumed later without losing playtime. Progress from these trials, including saves, achievements, and stats, carries over seamlessly if the full game is purchased afterward. Exclusive in-game rewards form a core Pro-tier perk, featuring monthly challenges that unlock items such as cosmetics, currency, and boosts across popular titles. Participants complete tiered objectives to earn these, with examples including weapon charms in and Pitcoin packs in F1 series games. In F1 25, Pro members access recurring rewards like 50,000 in-game cash, a unique F1 World upgrade card, and a seven-day XP boost. For 2025 releases, enhanced event-based rewards have included limited-time cosmetics tied to seasonal updates, such as those in F1 25's seasonal celebrations.

Reception and Impact

Critical and User Reception

Upon its launch as EA Access in 2014, the service received praise for its affordability at $4.99 per month or $29.99 annually, with reviewers describing it as a "no-brainer" for owners seeking access to a selection of EA titles and 5-hour trials of new releases. However, it faced criticism for its limited initial game library, consisting primarily of older titles no longer topping sales charts, and for its exclusivity, which deemed not to offer sufficient value to justify inclusion on PlayStation platforms. Following the 2020 rebrand to EA Play and its expansion to multiple platforms including in 2020, reception improved due to broader accessibility, with the service integrating seamlessly into PC ecosystems and offering the Pro tier at $16.99 monthly for full day-one access to new releases. User sentiment on reflected this positivity, with many appreciating the multi-platform convenience and value amid rising individual game prices, often rating it around 8/10 for the expanded library and exclusive rewards. The Pro tier, in particular, was lauded for providing immediate access to annual sports franchises like and , enhancing its appeal for dedicated fans. User complaints have centered on the rotating nature of the Game Vault library, where titles periodically enter and exit availability, leading to frustration over losing access to favorites without ownership—exemplified by the backlash to 's removal from EA Play on August 15, 2025, ahead of its full server shutdown in January 2026. This "renting" model has been perceived as limiting long-term value compared to outright purchases, though it underscores the service's focus on a curated, ever-changing selection. In , marking its 10-year anniversary, EA Play garnered mixed reviews, with praise for its growth to nearly 13 million active players as of early 2021 and offering a first-month discount to $0.99 for new members, yet calls for greater inclusion of indie titles to diversify beyond EA's core and action franchises. Overall, aggregated ratings from outlets like hover around 7.5/10, highlighting strong value for sports enthusiasts through ongoing trials and full access to yearly iterations, but less appeal for players seeking deep narrative experiences due to the emphasis on multiplayer and live-service titles.

Industry Influence

EA Play has significantly influenced the gaming industry's adoption of subscription models, serving as an early benchmark since its inception as EA Access in 2014. This service paved the way for competitors like Ubisoft+, launched in 2019, by demonstrating the viability of offering library access, trials, and member rewards to foster recurring revenue over one-time purchases. EA's strategy emphasized live services, with subscriptions such as EA Play contributing to a broader push toward digital ecosystems, where live services and extra content generated $4.277 billion in net revenue for 2023, accounting for over half of the company's total digital full game and subscription bookings. The service's scale, with nearly 13 million active players as of early , underscores its role in a competitive landscape. The 2020 integration with Ultimate enhanced mutual value, allowing Game Pass subscribers access to EA's catalog at no extra cost, which bolstered user engagement through expanded content variety. In response to 's dominance, EA launched the Pro tier in 2020, offering PC users day-one access to new titles like , thereby differentiating its premium offering and countering the threat of broader multi-publisher libraries. EA Play's growth has intertwined with broader strategic shifts at Electronic Arts, including a controversial $55 billion leveraged buyout in 2025 primarily funded by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, which sparked industry concerns over potential monopolization in sports gaming—where EA holds sway via exclusive NFL and FIFA licensing deals. The service has faced criticism for enabling microtransactions and loot boxes in Vault titles like Madden NFL and EA Sports FC, mechanics likened to gambling and prompting regulatory probes in regions like the UK and Belgium. Nonetheless, EA Play has sustained franchises amid retail declines, offset by subscription-driven recurring access and in-game monetization. This aligns with the sector's trajectory, where subscription-based gaming is forecasted to grow from $11.53 billion in 2024 to $24.18 billion by 2030, representing an increasing share of the overall $665.77 billion market as consumers favor all-you-can-play models over traditional sales.
