EA Access members also get to play trial editions of popular upcoming games such as Star Wars: Battlefront and Need or Speed 2015. Subscribers on Xbox One can also avail of a discount of 10% while purchasing full games.

Earlier in the year, players (on Xbox One and PS4) of the older Battlefield 4 had lots to cheer about as EA seeded the new free Night Operations DLC that introduces new stealthier game modes and night map called Zavod: Graveyard Shift. Newer gaming modes have also been introduced, apart from the night maps. These game modes are: Gun Master, Domination, Obliteration, Team Death Match and Rush.
