Origin Access is very much underrated by many and seeing this we recently browsed the games EA provides for its Basic Origin Access. The Conclusion is quite impressive. You will get a lot of AAA games that you always wanted to play but couldn’t buy them all because of the huge price that EA charges for its titles.

You might read this and think that I am talking uselessly and there is nothing worth in the origin store for a monthly fee. However, if you will follow us through this review we made on the Origin store, you will be convinced to get Origin Access at least for one month if not more.

What is Origin Access?

It is a Netflix type of service for gaming. Just like the Xbox Game pass, you pay a monthly fee in exchange for what, you get a handful of games available in the Origin Access library.

You can download the games available in the library and play them. There is no streaming option just yet, but there are rumors that EA is working secretly on a cloud gaming project too.

Talking about the game library, we know that Origin’s library is much smaller than that of Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Now. However, looking at the subscription price, and other benefits you get with Origin Access, we think it is worth getting it at least for some time.

Origin Access Plans

EA offers you two plans to choose with- Basic Access & Premium Access.

Both the plans have their pros and cons, but our choice is undoubtedly the basic one. Let’s first understand what you get in each plan and why we chose the basic one.

Origin Access Basic

As you see, the basic plan for Origin access costs $4.99/month which is not too much and if you want to buy a yearly plan, it costs only $30. Now, the games you get for this money are really worth it, on the top of it, you also get early access to all the upcoming games for 10 hours.

Some of the worth playing games available in the Basic Access are- Battlefield V, Anthem, Plants VS Zombies, Madden NFL 20, Tropica 6, Out of the Park Baseball 20, FIFA 19, A Way Out, Vampyr, Unravel Two, Star Wars Battlefront II, Brothers, City Skylines, Sims 4, and many many more.

The list is too big to put in this article. We know not all the games are super recent but trust us, many many recent games are there in the library and $30 or even $5 is just nothing to get access to these games.

Also, you get Add-ons (DLC) for most of the games. They have listed the end number of new and old titles that you always wanted to try or come back to but you did not want to pay to play those old games.

Origin Access Premium

Origin Access Premium requires $15/month or $100/year which is simply too expensive and you do not get too many games for the extra money you are paying. Hence, we are not the biggest fans of Origin Premium Access.

This is true that you do get the latest Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order with the deluxe, FIFA 20, Need For Speed Heat, Farmer’s Dynasty, Trine 4, Life Misfortune, and a few more, but is it worth the money? We think that FIFA 20, Need for Speed Heat, and Star Wars Jedi are the three AAA games to focus on while you are deciding for the premium plan.

Apart from this, you get early access to all the latest titles from EA and this will not be a 10 hours trial version but the full game.

It is nice to have benefits, but you need to think about how many games EA will be launching in the upcoming months.

Even if there will be new games in the near future, are you eagerly waiting for them to be released to have a hands-on them?

Conclusion:

In our opinion, go for the premium one only if the absence of the three games mentioned above (including Star Wars) really makes a huge difference for you. Else, go for the Origin Basic Access. The basic plan is a must buy seeing the number of games EA is providing at such a low cost.

You can always get Premium access for one month whenever EA will be launching a new game that you like.
