EA has added a handful of third-party games to its Darksiders 3, management game This is The Police 2 and surveillance game Beholder 2. It's the first time that non-EA games are being made available exclusively to Premier subscribers.
The basic Origin Access, which is $5/£4 a month or $30/£20 a year, has an ever-expanding "vault" of Battlefield 5, but now it appears EA is happy to add newer third-party games too.
The games were added before Christmas, but I still think it's worth mentioning now because it suggests that EA might add more third-party games to the Premier subscription in future.
It also further differentiates the Premier from the Basic tier: as Samuel wrote last month, Premier is only really worth it if you love sports games and shooters, but that could change if it gets some excellent non-EA games. Personally, I'm still happy with my Basic subscription, but I'll be keeping a close eye on what games are added going forward.
Darksiders 3, which came out last month, is a decent action game marred by a few flaws, as I wrote in intrigued after spending a few hours with the first game.
EA also added eight games to the basic Origin Access vault earlier this month, including A Way Out. The full list is:
- Star Wars Battlefront 2
- A Way Out
- The Count Lucanor
- The LEGO Movie Videogame
- Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic
- Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2
- Star Wars Rebel Assault
- Star Wars Rebel Assault 2
