More games coming to EA Access and Origin Access is always a good thing particularly the likes of Mirror’s Edge Catalyst considering it just released a few months ago and was heavily discounted during Amazon’s Great Indian Sale.

EA Access and Origin Access grants users to a collection of Xbox One and Windows PC games respectively from EA's catalogue (though there are games from other publishers and developers in the case of the latter) as well as giving users access to check out new EA games before they're released. Also they let subscribers save 10 percent on Origin purchases. EA Access costs Rs. 1,990 for an annual subscription on Xbox One while Origin Access costs Rs. 315 a month. Though keep in mind that you’ll need a pretty fast Internet connection to make the most of it. A majority of the games you’d want to play are huge downloads in excess of 20GB in most cases on either platform.
