"FIFA 16" is now free of charge for PC and Xbox One as EA Access and Origin Access programs will add the game to the Vault beginning April 19. The announcement, which was made by EA Sports on Tuesday, April 5, comes days after "Dead Space" was also added to EA Access Vault.
According to the statement published in EA Sports' website, "FIFA 16" is an ingenous game that allows players to play the sport their own way. It wasl also described as a "balanced, authentic, and exciting football experience." The statement added that players will also get to experience taking "control in midfield," build "confidence in defending," as well as encounter "more moments of magic" than they had previously.
Aside from "FIFA 16" being made available for free, EA Access members can also take 10 percent off the original price on their digital purchases on Xbox One. In the same manner, Origin Access members will also be given 10 percent discount on all their Origin purchases. Included in the offer are FIFA points, FUT packs and game purchases among many others.
The popular pro soccer game joins "Titanfall," "The Witcher 3," "Madden NFL 15" as well as Battlefield: Hardline" in the EA Access Vault. The service already has more than 15 games in its roster, Attack of the Fan Boy reported.
The addition of the game comes just days after EA took in "Dead Space" to its Vault. The game developed by Visceral became part of the Xbox One monthly membership program last week, according to Game Informer.
The variety of games in the list gives the subscribers a decent deal should they be interested to experience any of the titles in the roster. The subscription cost of EA Access for the Xbox One is still at $4.99 a month but gamers may choose to subscribe for one year for only $29.99. Meanwhile, the cost for Origin Access is also at $4.99 a month. However, an option for a yearly subscription is not available.
The availability of "FIFA 16" to the Vault also comes a month after online retailer Amazon UK offered the Xbox One FIFA 16 bundle for £249. The deal, which was done for only a day, included "FIFA 16" download, 500 GB console and an additional wireless controller.
