If you were hoping to get a bit of hands-on time thanks to EA or Origin Access though, you’re in for a bad time. See, one of the best things about an EA Access subscription is that it gets you a 10 hours trial of a game, with your saves carrying over if you choose to buy the game, or if it ever gets added to the vault.

Anthem has a pair of demos out this week and the week after that, kicking off for pre-order and EA Origin Access pals on January 25 and everyone else on February 1. What do you get for your gigabytes? A hopefully solid taste of Bioware back on form and ready to rock with their Destiny-killer that has you piloting advanced warsuits across hostile terrain and lighting up the land with lethal ordinance. Basically, a taste of things to come. Here’s the catch though: That taste may differ from the main course.

If you're still unsure about EA and BioWare's shared world shooter Anthem, you'll get the chance to play a large slice of it early at the beginning of February.

EA is offering unlimited access to its gaming catalogue with Origin Access Premier, but the service is still waiting on two big heavy hitters to prove its worth.

EA is adding the struggling Mass Effect Andromeda to their Access Vaults already, just seven months after its initial launch.

Been holding off of FIFA 17? Now you can play it on the cheap as it's soon joining EA and Origin Access's increasing library of games.

We're going to be live streaming Mass Effect Andromeda for most of today. That is, unless the internet deities take umbrage.

Mass Effect Andromeda will be the next game to join EA's early access program, offering Origin and EA Access subscribers a full 10 hours of play tme a week before release.
