EA Access getting Need for Speed: Rivals in 'coming weeks'

Publisher Electronic Arts is planning to add a new game to its “vault” of aging Xbox One games that it gives to players who join its premium membership program.

EA confirmed today that racer Need for Speed: Rivals will join EA Access’s collection of digital offerings in the “coming weeks.” This will give EA Access subscribers the chance to enjoy developer Ghost Games’ high-octane driving title. For $5 a month or $30 per year, you can get a membership to EA Access, which gives you an instant library of games from EA’s vault. Need for Speed: Rivals will join existing vault options like Battlefield 4, FIFA 14, and more. As with Xbox Live’s Games with Gold and PlayStation Plus’s Instant Games Collection, players will lose access to their EA Access titles if their subscription lapses.
