EA Adds Torchlight II To Origin Access Vault
You might recall that EA launched a PC counterpart to its Xbox One Access service. The premise is the same: for a monthly subscription fee, you get early play time with EA games and unfettered access to a selection of games.
The latest in the “Vault” is Torchlight II. Whereas Runic’s first action-RPG lootfest is a single-player affair, the sequel adds multiplayer and four new classes.
EA Access subscriptions cost $4.99 per month. Included in the Vault are the following:
- Battlefield 3
- Battlefield 4 Digital Deluxe
- Battlefield Hardline Digital Deluxe
- Dead Space
- Dead Space 2
- Dead Space 3
- Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition
- Dragon Age II
- Dragon Age: Inquisition Digital Deluxe
- FIFA 15
- Need for Speed Rivals Complete Edition
- Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare
- The Sims 3 Starter Pack
- SimCity
- Torchlight II
- This War of Mine q

Our Take
My only lament about Origin Access is that EA isn’t yet offering bundle plans for longer subscription periods. A full year of EA Access on Xbox One is $29.99. Right now, that same amount of time will cost you $60 on PC.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
