E3 2018 | EA launches Origin Access Premier, offers access to latest PC games
EA has launched a new premium subscription tier to its popular Origin Access gaming service. The new Origin Access Premier tier gives users access to the company's latest titles all for a single monthly payment.
EA has offered gamers a subscription based model to access its games for some time now. However, the only issue with it has been that gamers only have access to slightly older titles, not the latest. EA's new Origin Premier subscription tier fixes that by offering gamers the latest titles as well, for a fixed monthly fee.
When Origin Premier launches this northern hemisphere summer, gamers will get access to the latest titles including Battlefield V, Anthem, FIFA 19, and Madden NFL 19 upon their respective launches. Additionally, Origin Premier subscribers will also receive a 10% discount on any purchase that they make while they will also get unlimited access to games like the The Sims 4 and all the accompanying content packs.
On launch, new subscribers will get a 7 day free trial and will then be charged US$14.99 per month. There is also the option of paying a one-off annual fee of US$99.99 (or just a little less than the price of two new titles). Pre-registration is now open.

I have been writing about consumer technology over the past ten years, previously with the former MacNN and Electronista, and now Notebookcheck since 2017. My first computer was an Apple ][c and this sparked a passion for Apple, but also technology in general. In the past decade, I’ve become increasingly platform agnostic and love to get my hands on and explore as much technology as I can get my hand on. Whether it is Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, Nintendo, Xbox, or PlayStation, each has plenty to offer and has given me great joy exploring them all. I was drawn to writing about tech because I love learning about the latest devices and also sharing whatever insights my experience can bring to the site and its readership.
