Battlefield 1 is now free to download from Origin and EA Access.

EA has yet to announce DICE's shooter is now in the Vault, but eagle-eyed subscribers noticed it go free overnight.

EA Access costs £3.99 a month, or a full year costs £19.99. It's a pretty good deal - you get early access to new EA games and the Vault has loads of great games to download and play.
