EA Play was previously known as EA Access on consoles and Origin Access for PC. It includes access to a vault of games like Titanfall 2, Battlefield V and Mass Effect: Andromeda, as well as discounts on EA titles and the ability to try new games early.

Xbox Game Pass continues to grow, with Ultimate subscribers also able to access Xbox Cloud Gaming on Android, while the catalog of Bethesda Softworks games is also being added, as Doom Eternal joins the service in October.
