Xbox One owners who have signed up for the EA Access service can now play a trial version of the latest game in Electronic Arts' PGA Tour golf series. The 10-hour trial of EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is available several days before the full version is released on July 14.
EA says:
"Play your way for all 10 hours in EA SPORTS Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR, because you'll get to enjoy the real version of the game, not a demo. Plus, as an EA Access member, you be able to purchase the full-game digitally in the Xbox One store and save 10%. All of your progress, stats, and unlocked items carry over when you buy the retail or digital version, so you can pick up right where you left off."
EA Access also allows Xbox One owners to play 12 full games for as much as they want on the Xbox One for the price of $4.99 a month or $29.99 for a year. Microsoft recently began selling codes for 12 months of EA Access.
