EA Play, the service formerly known as EA Access, is coming to Steam on August 31st. For those unfamiliar with EA Play, it gives users access to a number of discounts, testimonials, a library of games, and more. The service is currently available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via Origin, making Steam the fourth available platform. The service costs $ 4.99 a month, while EA Play Pro costs $ 14.99 a month, or $ 99.99 a year. The latter option gives subscribers full access to the company’s new titles, allowing the publisher’s fans to potentially save a lot.

The name change came earlier today, and the rebranding was announced just last week. Among the many perks for subscribers, EA Play will give users early access Madden NFL 21 on August 21; Unfortunately, the service will not be available on Steam at this point. Fortunately, there are a number of other exclusives coming to EA Play in the coming months, such as skins in-game for Star Wars: Squadrons, and early access to the FIFA 21 trial with effect from 1 October.
One of the most appealing options of the service is the ability to select new releases for 10 hours. Those who decide to buy the games they try can transfer saved progress to the full versions, so players do not have to repeat everything they have already done. This feature has been added to a number of late demos, and it’s a great way to get players involved in new games.
Last but not least, EA Play gives subscribers access to a library of free games. These titles vary from platform to platform, but include previous iterations in France, Madden, NFL, and FIFA, as well as games like Fe, Battlefield V, Rocket Arena, and more. It remains to be seen what games will be available when the service launches on Steam, but more information should be available soon on the EA Play website, which can be found directly here.
