Madden NFL 16 Free For EA Access Subscribers Starting This Week
EA has announced that EA Access subscribers will soon be getting access to Madden NFL 16. And just in time for the Super Bowl!
The game will be available to download for subscribers starting on Feb 2. The Vault, EA Access' library of downloadable titles, includes Battlefield: Hardline, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Titanfall, Need For Speed Rivals, and others. The service also grants users access to certain games that EA is publishing before their release date. Unravel, the cute upcoming game starring a little man made of yarn, is one of the titles players will have early access. Subscribers will be able to play a chunk of Unravel starting February 4, several days before its release on February 9.
The service costs $4.99 a month (a full year subscription is $29.99) and is available to Xbox One and PC users though on PC, it's called Origin Access.

Our Take
I've been kind of leery of EA services since experiencing many trials and tribulations with trying to get Origin to work back in 2012 but $4.99 for a vault of quality games and early access to games is pretty tempting, I must admit.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
