Star Wars: Battlefront is one of the most anticipated titles coming out this holiday season. We’ve known for months that EA Access members would get to play the full game almost a week early but today Microsoft announced on Twitter the exact date. EA Access members on Xbox One will be able to play the game starting November 12. Other platforms will have to wait until November 17 or later.
Star Wars: Battlefront releases November 17 in North America and November 19 in Australia. European customers will have to wait until November 20. Lucky for Xbox One owners though. I can’t wait to play it early. Additionally, EA Access members can play Need for Speed starting October 29 and NBA Live 16 on September 24.
EA Access allows you to play the game for a multitude of hours before its release date. This can give you a significant advantage especially when it comes to a multiplayer shooter.
