What Is Origin Access? Is the game store run by Electronic Arts for PCs and Macs. It primarily—but not only—offers EA games. Is the subscription service attached to Origin. You don’t need to pay for Origin Access to use Origin—you can buy games through Origin and play them normally without any subscription fee. Origin Access costs either $5 per month, or $30 per year.

At $30 per year, that’s $2.50 a month—although you’re locking your payment in and you won’t be able to get a refund if you decide you don’t want to stay subscribed for the entire year. If you pay the subscription fee, you get all-you-can-play access to over 70 older games in EA’s “vault”. You also save 10% on every game or DLC purchase you make on Origin, and this discount applies even if the game is already. As an additional bonus, you’ll typically gain access to new EA games five days before they’re released, without paying extra.

Office 365 is designed to work best with Office 2016 for Mac. External hard drive for video editing mac. What if my Office 2016 for Mac applications continue to crash? There is a known issue with Apple’s macOS 10.13 and Office 2016 for Mac applications specific to proxy networks and Outlook for Mac. I have recently bought Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, which is very good, and I wanted to know wheather in the near future there is going to be Microsoft Access for Mac as I am using this software for my GCSEs at school and may even use it at sixth form.

So, for example, Origin Access subscribers could play a 10-hour trial version of Mass Effect: Andromeda five days before the final version was released. How Many Games Are Available? More than 70 games are available in EA’s vault, including big-name games like The Sims 4, FIFA 17, Mirror’s Edge Catalyst, Titanfall, Mass Effect 3, Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare, Battlefield 4, Crysis 3, Star Wars Battlefront, Dragon Age: Inquisition, SimCity 4, and more. In fact, the complete Dead Space, Dragon Age, and Mass Effect series are included. Scroll down and you’ll find that a good chunk of the games are older EA games that were created for MS-DOS, like the Ultima series. Most of the games have one thing in common: They were created and published by EA.

However, there are a few smaller indie games that weren’t published by EA in the library here. You can view a full list of on the EA website. How It Works Playing these games works just like playing any other game on Origin. If you subscribe to the service, you can download them to your PC and play them for free as if you purchased them.

When your subscription expires, you won’t be able to play them anymore—even if they’re installed on your system. You’ll have to resubscribe or purchase the game to play it. When you purchase anything on Origin, you’ll automatically get a 10% discount. And, when a new EA game is released, you’ll often be able to download and play it five days before everyone else.

Is It Worth It? Whether this is worth it or not is up to you.

At $5 per month—or $2.50 per month, if you commit for an entire year—this subscription is inexpensive compared to similar services. In comparison, costs a whopping $10 a month, doesn’t offer any discounts, primarily offers older Xbox 360 games, and doesn’t offer prerelease access.
