EA to offer a subscription service on another major platform later this year

In EA's earnings call they noted:

Earlier this fiscal year we added a new frontline tier to our subscription offerings for PC players, and in the year ahead we plan to offer a subscription service on another major platform.

This suggests EA Access may be coming to PS4? Or perhaps another platform? Or maybe it's as simple as EA Access Premier coming to Xbox?

Can't wait to play *checks notes* FIFA 18 and FIFA 19 for a monthly fee on my Switch.

Edit: And Fe.

Yes I believe it's PS4 and I hope they give us Origin Premier benefits on console too.

It has to be PS4 right? Like there just aren't enough switch games for it to be that

Their Switch support is pretty anemic, so it's gotta be either PS4 or mobile.

It can only be PS4, there is no need to hide it.
We can see their efforts to ignore Nintendo since their unprecedented partnership.

It's worth noting Switch currently only has 3 EA games. Fe, FIFA 18 & FIFA 19.

I cannot see anyone paying for that.

I'm hopefully it's EA Access FINALY coming to PS4.

But I'm expecting it to be Premier for Xbox.

Unless they are starting the rollout of Project Atlas, I can't see that other major platform being Switch.

If it was just Premier on Xbox, you wouldn't expect them to say:

We have a lot of great content coming in FY20, and we're excited for more players to experience it through our subscription programs across more platforms

Just had a look at what they offer, pretty sad that the first two Mass Effect & Dead Space are the only things that appeal to me.

But if you're into sports titles I guess it's a good service.

Please be for PS4.

But what are the chances of it being Premier for Xbox One?

The wording is slightly confusing. So I'm genuinely not sure if this is EA Access on PS4 or just some new subscription service coming to a major platform.

They'd probably just say if it was iOS, Android or XBL right? Switch maybe, but they don't really have the games there. PS4 seems the most obvious.
