EA will rename their EA Access and EA Origin Access subscription game services to EA Play on August 18. Origin Access Premier will be renamed EA Play Pro.
UPDATE: (8-18) EA Play is coming to Steam on August 31.
Subscribers will still receive all of the benefits they are currently getting (early access to trials, 10% on EA digital purchases, access to The Vault), but EA is adding a little more with exclusive in-game challenges and monthly reward drops for members on select titles.
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.
- Madden NFL 21 players get to start their season early on August 21st, as well as enjoy EA Play Challenges, a launch-day pack in Madden Ultimate Team, three Gold Team Fantasy Packs each month, plus additional in-game benefits that will give you a boost on the field.
- FIFA 21 players will get early access to the trial starting October 1st with pre-launch challenges to unlock bonuses and additional benefits all season long including FIFA Ultimate Team Season Objective XP boosts.
The annual EA Play event will be called EA Play Live.
