PC gamers have to wait a little bit longer to enjoy titles like Battlefield<\/em> and the Star Wars Battlefront<\/em> franchise. After announcing last fall<\/a> that EA Access would come to Steam in Spring 2020, EA said this week<\/a> that the subscription service won’t hit the digital retailer until sometime this summer. The reason for the delay is unclear, but understandable in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

What is on time, however, is the first wave of more than 25 EA games coming to Steam. Among those that are now available are Dragon Age: Inquisition<\/em>, Dragon Age II<\/em>, Need for Speed Heat<\/em>, Need for Speed: Rivals<\/em>, Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville<\/em>, Unravel<\/em> and others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Previously, EA games were available almost exclusively through Origin<\/a>. But EA expanded to other digital retailers over the years, launching EA Access on Xbox One in 2014 and PlayStation 4 last July<\/a>. “We want to be where players are,” Mike Blank, EA’s senior vice president of player networks, told Engadget last fall<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We don’t know exactly how much EA Access will cost on Steam. However, the subscription service costs $5\/month or $30\/year on both PS4 and Xbox One.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
