The EA Access seems like it has a lot of value for Xbox One users, but Sony seemed to think otherwise when they were approached by EA for the same.
In an email to Game Informer, a Sony representative compared the service to PlayStation Plus.
"We evaluated the EA Access subscription offering and decided that it does not bring the kind of value PlayStation customers have come to expect," the message said.
"PlayStation Plus memberships are up more than 200% since the launch of PlayStation 4, which shows that gamers are looking for memberships that offer a multitude of services, across various devices, for one low price. We don’t think asking our fans to pay an additional $5 a month for this EA-specific program represents good value to the PlayStation gamer."
EA’s subscription service currently offers players access to four games (Battlefield 4, FIFA 14, Madden NFL 25 and Peggle 2) for £3.99 per month or £19.99 per year, with more titles to be added as well as a 10 per cent discount on DLC and digital downloads of full games, and the promise of trials for future releases ahead of launch.
