EA to Release Subscription Service on “Another Major Platform”

PS4 maybe?

During EA’s conference call today, EA CEO Andrew Wilson spoke a little about EA’s future plans for its subscription business, stating that “in the year ahead we plan to offer a subscription service on another major platform,”

A subscription on top of a subscription?

Come on now.

I would laugh pretty hard if it ended up being Switch and not PS4.

PS4 is the only option. EA has no interest in supporting Nintendo because they're still salty over Nintendo not letting them control the online service for Wii U.

Well, I guess mobile is an option as well.

@goldenelementxl:

I always assumed it would be switch unless Sony was finally going to release their fabled “tiered” version of PSNow that includes EA pass

i suspect this is mobile. EA do work quite a bit on mobile i think. they may look to offer a subscription and get loads of MTs for free on EA games for subscribers (or perhaps remove them all together....subscribers get access to the complete game perhaps).

i wonder if itll be a different subscription or will it all be under the one sub. the latter would be smart.

PS4, there is only a handful of Xbox one's out there.

It needs to be PS4,

If/when consoles go all digital, I am not going to be happy with only one digital store front to buy games. There has to be competition to have competitive prices for games

It's obviously EA Access Premium for Xbox....

Is this another Sony cave? Oh will it be for switch along with serious commitment from EA. I was thinking next gen is around the corner this is the best time for publishers to flex there muscles.

If it IS PS4, what happened to it "not being a good value"?

My bet: Nintendo Switch.

No, a subscription inside a subscription, in which you can buy microtransactions and lootboxes.

It's already on Xbox One.

Unless they're talking about launching Origins Premier on Xbox, in which case... LOLcows

i'm going to laugh if it comes to PS4

well its def not the Nintendo Switch - The Switch's outdated hardware cant even run most of the games that EA release.

It's gotta be the PS4.

@drlostrib: Why would you laugh?

Announcing Switch partnership over PS4 would be so funny. It only has what, FIFA games there?

Sony: "We evaluated the EA Access subscription offering and decided that it does not bring the kind of value PlayStation customers have come to expect."
