Whoa. Between this and Game Pass, we really are moving towards a service model for games distribution.

Huh, didn't really imagine this would happen. Sounds cool, though I wonder when/if they'll be added on EA Access on Xbox One?

I still don't know if I want games distribution to be done as a service akin to Netflix. That's just my two cents, but I certainly can see the benefits in doing so. I wish EA Access was on PS4 because then I could play Battlefield on the cheap end.

Not going to lie, if this comes to Xbox i'm definitely re-subbing. I haven't played any of the Batman games and all i keep hearing are good things about them.

So are EA and MS basically competing to get publishers to put their games on their origin access/gamepass services? Then again I don't see the problem with WB putting games on both services.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's announced during the Xbox Insider (or whatever it's called) this Saturday

Batman Origins is amazing and if you missed it because it wasn't part of the trilogy everyone should play it.
Leagues better than Arkham Knight


Also play Bulletstorm, Even if it's just the original. Once the controls click it's a blast and the humour is actually okay. Story is solid and the characters are pretty neat.

Judging by the fact that they didn't mention it, I'm going to assume this does not apply to EA Access on the Xbone. Makes sense, since Origin Access has featured a few indie games that EA weren't involved with previously. EA Access, meanwhile remained strictly EA only (presumably because Microsoft runs it, according to an EA customer support rep).

Companies need to unify this stuff so it's the same on Xbox and PC with users choosing where they play.

Xbox Game Pass should be on PC too.

Maybe I haven't been paying close enough attention, but it doesn't seem like Origin Access is heralded as much as EA Access or Game pass (at least on here anyways). We'll see if this new development can move the needle more for their distribution model on PC.

Yeah Origin Access has not been as well received as EA Access because the vault has less things in it, it gets nearly all the same things added, but missed out on the 360 BC titles that don't have a PC version,. and also the certain sports franchises that EA stopped developing for the PC (like NHL and Madden).

So I wouldn't be surprised if these titles don't show up at all on EA Access and are meant to make Origin Access more attractive. Cheaper to have these show up on PC, instead of PC & Xbox.

Origin Access is EA Access just on PC instead of Xbox and it's the suprior version. Not sure what you mean by this.

It's exceptional Value for money however it does suffer because of the PC market being so "deal heavy" at times and many of the titles already being in peoples library one way or another.

I've been waiting to subscribe (too busy to dive into a subscription service) and it looks like it'll be an even better value when I do. Looking forward to seeing what AK looks like on my setup.

EA is basically making a PC competitor to Game Pass before it "officially" comes to PC. Good on EA. Though this is just expanding something that they started before anyone else.

It's not on EA access because these are all last hen games not on XB1? Maybe they don't have rights for Backwards compatibility for these games. WB might also think that they aren't going to sell anymore of these on PC whereas the Xbox live store versions are still selling

While I'm not going to suddenly get EA Access over this, I will say that this is pretty neat to see. I wonder what the chances will be if we were to get some "NetherRealm" support in there too? Pretty sure if you work a deal to bring over MK9, MKX and both Injustice games to EA access (and maybe a few more tidbits like Sholin Monks if possible), then you could draw in a bigger audience into the service.

Wow, this is getting ridiculously good value for the money. I have so many things to play so I stopped my subscription a while ago but will re-sub later.

The battle for game subscription services has begun! I wouldn't be surprised if we got a few more services by the end of the year.
