All The EA/Origin Access Free Games

@casshan01: A lot of people when it was added...

@casshan01: A key feature of EA Access is that no game is ever removed from the vault. This is great for most games, but for sports games, it kind of bloats the list a bit.

I like to look at the list as only including the most recent year of sports titles. When you look at it this way, you only have about 22% of the available games being sports titles. I have included UFC 2, SSX, and Skate 3 as sports titles in that calculation. If you removed those as well as the PGA game, as those don't really get annualized versions, your % of sports titles drops to just over 11%.

Madden 15 was added in March of 2015. While it would now appear that that game has no value to anyone, it was a nice addition to the vault when it was added about 6 months after its initial release.

I have stopped buying sports games since EA Access came out. I now wait for them to hit the vault, which generally occurs about 6 months after release. I've been a subscriber since it came out, so going on 3 years. At $30 a year, I've definitely been able to take advantage of the service.

@casshan01: I don't know, was that a particularly bad Madden title?

Addendum: according to my calculations, only 37.8% of the available games on the EA Access service are Sports Games, but I didn't take Racing Games into consideration. The amount corresponds to 17 titles out of a total of 45. I agree that's an excessive amount, but it's far from 80%.

A Great value service !! and adding Games at no extra cost is always good !!

Why not updating the Origin Access list as well???

Is it good value now, Sony?

Mostly regurgitated annualized sports titles that make even forza rehashes look fresh and a flood of last gen titles. Yeah, that's an excellent deal.

Is this an advertisement? Its not free you are renting them

List of Origin games that you can get for free if you pay a fee: 84

List of Origin games that you actually get for free (No fee): 6

Dammit EA.

I would join this for $30 a year, looks like good value and there are a lot of games in that list I would play.

Important question though... Those "free" games, do they include the DLC for free too? Like if I play Mass effect 3, will I be able to install all the stupidly expensive (but good) DLC?

30 bucks for a year is not a bad deal. Ive wasted that amount on one bad game.....that ill never play again.

Ill have to consider this, i want to replay the Mass Effect Games.

Fun fact: EA access isn't free so, no, those games aren't free. They're a nice bonus, but still not actually free. That would be like saying a "buy 1 get 2" promotion is giving you something for free. It's not; That latter is actually a 50% discount.

So what's the best Battlefield? They all look great.

Add dead space 2 and 3 to EA access so xbox one owners can play

Why don't you update the Origin Access list?

Mirrors Edge Catalyst, Star Wars Battlefront, Ultima I through IX, Wing Commander I through IV, plus Privateer, Populous I and II, and Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2 should be added.

It actually sounds like decent value. The only problem is I've already got enough (better) games on my plate.

Even though I already own Battlefront, I find this news weirdly exciting simply for the fact that now I don't ever have to put the disc back into my Xbox in order to play a few matches.

So glad I got Origin Access. It's a great deal.

I'm hoping to slowly migrate from Bnet to Origin as my 2nd main DRM application behind Steam (WoW is still too "habit-forming"!).

Tho honestly, I havent PLAYED on steam in a while. Just keep it up to chat and check deals lol.

It is a good value, but if you can find a game, without Origin client, then it would be an even better value even if you have to pay more. A client should not leach background resources after the game starts.

Really good value, 4 euro a month is nothing.. I have a ps4 and I only got an xbox one to play Horizon 3, but now I have a massive library of games(granted some of them aren't great) on my xbox. Playin UFC2, Titanfall NFS etc. wouldn't buy these, but might hang on to this for 4 or 5 months til I get bored with em, it'll only cost me 20 euro Not exactly a bank breaker. Well recommended for anyone who has very little cash to spend on games.
