EA Access is a video gaming subscription service available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One that lets you play EA’s best games as much as you want. Right now, you can get a one-month EA Access subscription for Xbox One for just $4 at CDKeys. This subscription service allows you to preview EA’s new releases before they come out, gives you an exclusive member discount of 10% off on digital purchases, and grants you instant access to a massive collection of EA games. With hundreds of titles to choose from, there are games for everyone included in this service. Some of the hottest titles from EA that are available now include FIFA 20, NHL20, and NFS Heat.

If you’ve been stuck at home for weeks and you’re a gamer, odds are you have blown through a few games already. Whether or not you go through games quickly, if you are looking for some new games to play, EA Access is an excellent way to access some of the most popular titles in the world. EA Access allows you to try the publisher’s new games before they launch. But the coolest part of this perk is that your save progress carries over to the full game if you decide to buy it when it releases.

Along with that impressive feature, you also receive 10% off of all purchases of full EA games, season passes, and DLC with your subscription. Subscribers also get access to expansion packs for popular games like Star Wars Battlefront.

Your access to games remains unlimited as long as your subscription is active, so maintaining a subscription is a great way to keep a fully stocked library. If you have multiple gamers in your house or just like playing various titles at once, the subscription is well worth it. If you wish to check out some new games or try out older games before buying them, having the subscription for a month or two is beneficial as well.

EA does more than just make sports games. It has produced some of the most popular titles for Xbox over the years, including Plants vs. Zombies, Anthem, and Battlefield V. You can also play classic titles like The Bard’s Tale Trilogy, The Sims, and Bejeweled. There are games for people of all ages and skill levels available through EA Access.

If you've had your eye on the Microsoft Xbox Series X for a while, now's the perfect time to finally purchase the console as there's a $50 discount from Best Buy. From its original price of $500, it's down to only $450 -- the savings may not look like much, but with Xbox Series X deals not happening often, you're going to want to take advantage of this offer. It will only be available until August 18, but we highly recommend proceeding with the transaction right now as the stocks that are up for sale may already be gone as soon as tomorrow.

Why you should buy the Microsoft Xbox Series X
The Microsoft Xbox Series X, which comes with the Xbox Wireless Controller, packs 12 teraflops of raw graphic processing power that enables 4K gaming with lightning-fast load times and gameplay of up to 120 frames per second. It comes with a 1TB SSD, but you can easily get more space through the installation of a storage expansion card. For parents, the Xbox Family Settings app will allow you to manage your children's playing time, even when you're away.
