EA Access is adding Mirror's Edge Catalyst and Star Wars Battlefront this year

PopCap's XBLA games available now.

The Xbox One-exclusive EA Access program will add Mirror's Edge Catalyst, Star Wars Battlefront and EA Sports UFC 2 to its vault later this year.

EA is stepping up its vault game.

Origin Access, the PC-based equivalent to EA Access, will likewise receive Mirror's Edge Catalyst and Star Wars Battlefront (but not UFC 2, which does not exist on PC).

That means subscribers who pay £3.99 for either of these services will have unlimited access to these games.

Additionally, EA/Origin Access members can play 10 hours of Battlefield 1 beginning 13th October, eight days before its 21st October release.

In the meantime, EA Access has just added six of PopCap's XBLA offerings to its vault. These include: Heavy Weapon, Bejeweled 2, Bejeweled 3, Feeding Frenzy, Feeding Frenzy 2, and Zuma.
