EA Access is a subscription service currently available on PS4 and Xbox One.
Along with letting you play the best games, EA has to offer, there are some additional perks.
MONTHLY OR YEARLY: EA Access is a paid for subscription
There are exclusive early trials for upcoming games, which actually allow your save progress to carry over.
That means you can get a head start on your career mode in UFC 4, or simply get some much-needed practise in before entering the arena.
There's a 10% discount on full games, season passes, and DLC, alongside a substantial catalogue of games including classics like FIFA 20.
But what about UFC 4?
For those on EA Access, UFC 4 was available to play on 7 August 2020. That was a whopping 7 days ahead of the general release.
Perfect for honing those combos, and getting to grips with the all-new submissions feature.

Can you get early access if you pre-order?
Funnily enough, even though it's quite common for this to occur with many titles, for UFC 4 it was not the case.
However, there were still a bunch of in-game bonuses, such as Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua as playable characters. Not to mention some of the Kick Boxer Inspired fighting arenas, and gear.
