EA announced today that Battlefront will enter the EA Access Vault by the end of the year.

This announcement from EA came in a press release. It was also revealed that six PopCap games, UFC 2 and Mirror’s Edge Catalyst will join Battlefront.

EA Access is an Xbox One-exclusive subscription service that allows users to play select EA games. Some games also give early access; EA Access members additionally save 10% on EA digital purchases from the Xbox One Games Store. The subscription costs $4.99 a month.

There is a also a PC-variant called Origin Access which does the same thing. I assume Battlefront will be available there as well.

Not too surprising to see that Battlefront will make it in as the game has been out nearly a year. I’m not sure how many people actually use EA Access, but hopefully once it’s added to the vault, we might see a bump in the player count for Battlefront.
