Get More Game with EA Play

EA Access and Origin Access will soon have a new look and name, but all the same great benefits and new in-game challenges.

The EA Access and Origin Access subscription game services will be getting a fresh new name and look starting August 18. EA Access and Origin Access Basic will become EA Play*, and Origin Access Premier will change to EA Play Pro. All the great benefits you love (access to a library of top titles, early game trials, and your 10% membership discount) aren’t going anywhere. In fact, we’re adding even more in the coming months, starting with exclusive in-game challenges and monthly reward drops for members on select titles.

EA Play getting price increase, with annual subs up from £19.99 to £35.99

Pro rising from £89.99 to £109.99.

EA is increasing the price of its EA Play subscription service - which provides on-demand access to a selection of the publisher's titles, as well as early access to certain newer games - with the annual price of the standard tier set for a significant increase, up from £19.99 to £34.99.

EA Play launched in 2020, when EA made the decision to combine its previous EA Access and Origin Access packages into a single service. Since then, prices have remained at £3.99/month or £19.99/year for EA Play, and £14.99/month or £89.99/year for EA Play Pro - which includes access to the publisher's latest games as they launch, alongside another of other benefits.

As initially reported by GamesIndustry.biz, however, those prices are changing, in some cases seeing a substantial increase. EA's website now prices EA Play's standard tier at £5.99/$5.99 a month, while the annual price has been raised to £35.99/$39.99. EA Play Pro, meanwhile, is increasing to £16.99/$16.99 a month and £109.99/$99.99 annually.

According to GamesIndustry.biz, existing members today received an email warning them their subscription cost will increase from 10th May, 2024. The price increase is already reflected on EA's website for those signing up from today.
