A multitude of game companies now offer subscription services that offer a catalog of games for free, beyond the monthly subscription fee. EA Play is just one of those services, and it’s finally ready to make its move to Steam.
Steam is one of the most-used gaming platforms for PC out there, with Origin, EA’s own game platform, often serving as direct competition. However, the recently revitalized EA Play program is independent of Origin, and players will be able to access it via Steam starting at the end of the month: August 31.
EA Play was previously called EA Access, but the benefits remain largely the same. Players can sign up for a basic account which offers access to select games and discounts on certain titles for $29.99 a year, or upgrade to the more expensive option, EA Play Pro, at $99.99. The larger price tag is often considered worth it, as the service lets players enjoy brand-new EA games, similar to Xbox Game Studios titles being free with Xbox Game Pass.
EA Play is also available on PS4 and Xbox One consoles, giving players plenty of choices on how they want to access the publisher’s games. While adding another way to access the service on PC may seem like overkill to some, players often have one preferred gaming platform on PC, so this move will likely help EA to gain new EA Play subscribers who have been reluctant to join Origin in the past, and may not have had a console to otherwise access the service.
