EA Access Will Support Steam, More EA Games Released On The Store

EA's subscription service, EA Access, is officially making its way to Steam. The news coincides with the release of a handful of new EA-published games on the service, although some of its heaviest hitters--Apex Legends, FIFA 20, Battlefield V, and so on--remain Origin-only on PC. Notably, the service on Steam will be called EA Access, mimicking the naming convention used for the Xbox One and PS4 versions. PC already has its own version of EA Access, dubbed Origin Access, that operates through the EA-run Origin store. Origin Access has expanded

Best Xbox One Deals (June 2020): Deals On Consoles, Games, And More

With Microsoft set to launch the Xbox Series X later this year, 2020 will be an interesting year for the company.
