Thirty five Mirror Edge games became available on Xbox One through the EA Access library on Wednesday. It would allow library members to play both games on the console using the EA service.
Among the free games on the EA Access are NBA Live 16, EA Sports UFC, Heavy Weapon, Bejeweled 3 and Feeding Frenzy. To access these free games, players could subscribe to the EA library at $5 per month or $30 a year, Attack of the Fanboy reported.
Besides the free games, subscribers could also access upcoming titles and get discounts on all EA digital content before the official release date. For instance, subscribers were able to play a portion of Battlefield 1 on Oct 13, before it was officially released on Oct 21.
Being an EA Access member has the additional benefit of game discounts and other offers. As a member, the player do not own the games outright, by they could play the game whenever they want as long as they remain an EA Access subscriber.
According to Gamespot, besides Mirror’s Edge, the EA Access library would also include the game’s sequel, Catalyst. Players would likely be happy with the addition of Catalyst which was released only in June. Just five months after it went on sale, EA Access members could play Catalyst for free.
Like Unravel and Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, Catalyst’s inclusion in the EA Access library is one of the quickest turnarounds in game history. EA would also add EA Sports UFC 2 to its Access Vault on Thursday, Nov 10. Before 2016 ends, Star Wars Battlefront, released in November 2015, would also be added to the Vault.
Another version of EA Access called Origin Access could be found on PC with its own vault of free games. But Battlefront and EA Sports UFC 2 were confirmed only for EA Access. EA Sports UFC 2 was excluded on PC. There would be no version of EA Access for PlayStation 4.
