FIFA 21 EA ACCESS
EA Access is a paid subscription program, released in August 2014 exclusively for Xbox gamers and extended to PlayStation in July 2019.
EA ACCESS OFFERS FOR FIFA 21
EA Access subscribers have access to three exclusive offers
EA Access subscribers can download and play a selection of EA games, including FIFA 21, before they’re released. No purchase necessary.
With EA Access, subscribers earn early access to all recent and upcoming EA games, including FIFA, NHL, Madden, Need for Speed and Battlefield series.
Subscribers can download and play a selection of games before they hit the stores.
The subscription gives access to Play First Trials, which are complete versions of popular games playable for a limited time. In the case of FIFA 21, it includes online and FIFA Ultimate Team features, but there is a limitation of 10 hours. During this time, it is possible to play, trade, sell, buy items and FIFA Points, which can be a huge advantage over the other players without early access. It is also possible to transfer FIFA Points from the previous edition. The trial timer will continue to count down even when the game is running in the background, so players should make sure to quit the trial completely when they aren’t playing.

With EA Access trials, players are playing the real game for a limited time before its release date. If they purchase FIFA 21 once it releases, they can pick up right where they left off – their progress and stats carry over. Saved games and achievements/trophies earned during the Early Access will unlock once they purchase and log into the EA Servers with the final version of the game.
FIFA 21 EA Access early access is estimated to start on October 1, 2020, at around 4pm UK time.
The windows pre-load should start on September 25 at 6pm.
In order to play the early access, subscribers just need to download the game through the service’s dashboard once it becomes available.

EA Access holders have free instant access, at any time and as long as they keep being subscribers of the service, to a selection of games ‘The Vault’.
The Vault is an evolving collection of Xbox and PlayStation games included in EA Access membership. It features the latest EA games, DLCs and expansion packs.
For Play First Trials, members need an Internet connection. They can play some Vault games offline, but they’ll need to periodically reconnect to EA to verify that they’re still members.
With EA Access, subscribers have unlimited access to an instant collection of great Xbox and PlayStation titles, without any other type of restrictions. They are free to play them as much time as they want, at any time.
The games are downloaded straight to the system to ensure the best possible performance and can stay there as long as players have their EA Access membership (or until it’s time to clear out their hard drive for more games).
