EA Access (XOne) and Origin Access (PC) 7 days for free

Open
zelghadis

So with their E3 conference EA announced EA Access and Origina Access will be available for 7 days for free. Not enough to play through some massive game, but quite good to try out something or even finish something shorter (I reccomend trying Unravel or Orwell).
https://www.origin.com/pol/pl-pl/store/origin-access (or change language in link to your own ;p)
https://www.ea.com/eaaccess/

If you used your March free trial you cannot use it again.

To avoid accidental charging you can unsubscribe right away, your 7day subscription will remain.

"Your first 7 days are FREE if you sign up before March 7! After your trial ends you'll be charged monthly or yearly, depending on the plan you choose. Cancel anytime during your 7-day free trial and you won't be charged."

So it's different deal, since we're pretty much past March 7, also different games available now (Orwell was not in March offer for example).

and this is important addition, worth adding to OP (added), but again since it's a different deal with different offer (and 1st time EA Access offer as such) I still would not call it "old news". These are new news no matter who can and cannot access it as it is new promo.

Yup, I intend to use it to play Unravel (Orwell seems intrestring as well, but it is on Steam so I'll get it there, Unravel is EA exclusive, so will not come to Steam).

Orwell is a nice game that only takes about 4 hours to complete.

yes, but I like to add games to my "finished" list on Steam as well as uploading screenies to my massive screenshot library ;) So if I can play something on Steam I will rather play it on Steam. So I'm mostly intressed in Origin exclusives like
Unravel (there are ofc other great Origin exclusives, but I personally dislike spotrs games, so not intrested in FIFA, don't like multiplayer modern military shooters, so no Battlefield, and I already own and played through ME3, DA:I, ME:C not to mention 7 days would be surely too little to play 1st two ;p)

Mirror's Edge Catalyst can also be finished quite quick. 8h for main story, 13h for main+extra, so easilly doable in 7 days ;) and unlile beholder, orwell, mini metro - it is exclusive, not available on Steam ;)

For a second i tough it will be some greenlight like thing ...

30$ a year seems reasonable if you find a dozen. Games you want to play there tbh .

All I saw was red alert , which I already own so thanks but no thanks EA

Yes, you will not get charged during these first 7 days. You just have to remember to cancel your subscription b4 trial ends or you will get autocharged when 7days pass, but same gpes for all kinds of free trials ;)

Did you use old promo which ended at March? Anyway nothing we can do tohelp you here, all you can do is to contact their support (thou EA support is quite good one so maybe you will get refund).

Forgot about the march promo, and this one is a set 7 days from when I start? Great then, can time it to play Unravel and likely Aragami is it's still in selection :)
edit: no aragami, but it has orwell, likely they made a change. Still good!

They do change games, which is understandable, to keepnppl subscribed they have to, or you would play all games in 2-3 months, had nothing else to play and unsubscrube.

Idk if automatic subscriptions can even be done via skrill so this may be the reason.

then it is different from what you said in the first comment. It is available without credit card, just is not available without verified PP account. These are two totally different cases.
Also a lot of services do not accept unverified PP accounts (I myself opuld not accept payment from not verified account for any PP transaction I may be doing), so it is nothing special that you cannot join some subscription because you are not verified.

was lucky enough to get ME:C from GMG Mystery Key promo ;) But I'd say using it to play through it is a good choice ;)
