Mass Effect Andromeda will come early to EA Access subscribers. This news has sparked speculation as to the extent of access the early birds have on the upcoming game.
ME Andromeda - EA Early Access Confirmed
Game developer BioWare has confirmed that EA Access subscribers will have first dibs on the upcoming Mass Effect Andromeda. The confirmation was posted via Twitter. Interestingly EA Access is only limited to Xbox One or Windows PC players. Xbox One console and Windows PC owner should have registered with EA Access to play Mass Effect Andromeda early. PS4 players need not apply.
Kind of Game Access Expected
It is believed that the early birds will have access for a few hours or days before its release. There are also speculations as to what kind of access they will have in the game. Gaming industry observers think that the early players can only play the early parts of the single player mode. This is to prevent them from spoiling the game's storyline to the rest of the world.
Some believed though that the single player mode is not included in the EA early access deal. Instead, the developer may let them play the multiplayer mode. This can make it more interesting since there's no risk of spoilers coming out. Currently, there is little information about the multiplayer feature of the game. BioWare did assure that the feature is included in the game.
