Origin Access Premier launches on PC

Electronic Arts has announced that players can now sign up for Origin Access Premier, a new subscription tier for PC that offers full access to EA’s latest releases.

For $14.99/month or $99.99/year (USD), players can enjoy full access to games as an Origin Access Premier member. Members will play the full game days before launch featuring extra content including in-game currency, plus all the benefits of the Basic membership (still also available, for $4.99/month or $29.99/year) that features an ever-evolving library of games in The Vault.

Players can join Origin Access Premier now to start playing full previously released EA titles on PC, including The Sims, Star Wars: Battlefront II, FIFA 18, A Way Out, Unravel Two, and Fe.

The following upcoming EA titles on PC will also be available for members to play any time, before anyone else – Madden NFL 19 Hall of Fame Edition (August 2, 2018), FIFA 19 Ultimate Edition (September 20, 2018), Battlefield V Deluxe Edition (October 11, 2018), and Anthem Legion of Dawn Edition (February 15, 2019).

Today’s launch also marks the end of EA’s “On the House” program, which for over 4 years occasionally gave out free games for everyone on Origin.

This is EA’s first premium-tier subscription program, and it joins the very similarly structured Xbox Game Pass.
