EA Considering Adding Xbox 360 Games To EA Access Via Backward Compatibility

360 games likely wouldn’t be added to the Vault until November at the earliest, as that’s when backwards compatibility will launch on Xbox One. The feature will become available for everyone in a few months and the full list of titles that will be compatible is rapidly expanding. This could make the service even more desirable.

Microsoft has already announced that the Xbox One will support some Xbox 360 games starting in the fall thanks to a software update, meaning EA’s investigation might be as simple as getting Redmond headquarters to OK the plans to give software away for free. I mean £2.99 or £4.99 to basically rent an old PlayStation 3 game for two days is scandalous.

With the Xbox One’s backward compatibility releasing to the general public later this yr, Electronic Arts has revealed that the corporate is already contemplating the thought of utilizing the console’s new function to add Xbox 360 video games to EA Access Vault.

We know this because a Twitter user asked the EA Access guys on the micro-blogging platform about the prospects of this happening, and the answer, while not a resounding yes, is a proof enough that the company is looking into the possibility. Currently, the service and its premium access to the publisher’s games are limited to the X1, but it’s possible that the introduction of backwards compatibility will enable EA to throw their X360 titles into the mix.
