Origin Access
Origin Access is a monthly subscription service from EA that grants access to a catalog of games and content through the Origin store. This subscription services comes in two forms; a Basic tier and a more expensive Premier tier. While the Basic tier includes the majority of games and content available through the service, some games and/or content might be exclusive to the Premier tier. A similar service is available on consoles but is called simply EA Access.
