Battlefield 1 Now Available to Play for EA Access Members

News: If you are an EA Access member then the early trial for Battlefield 1 has started and can unlock some content in the full game.

If you are an EA Access member you can download Battlefield 1 right now and play it over a week before the game launches. The early trial period was supposed to start on October 13 but Microsoft made it available on Xbox Live a day earlier giving EA Access members a good amount of time to test the game out before it is released on October 21. Keep in mind though that like all EA Access trials you won’t have unlimited access to the game.

This early access trial will allow you to play the game for up to ten hours over the course of the next week. You will be able to play the “Storm of Steel” and “Through Mud and Blood” missions from the single player campaign as well as having access to a number of the multiplayer modes and maps. There will be five maps and four modes available in the multiplayer including St. Quentin Scar, Amiens, Sinai Desert, Fao Fortress and Suez. You will have access to these maps in the Conquest, Rush, Operations and Domination modes.

EA has also revealed that Access members will unlock content by playing between October 13 and October 20. You will be able to get an exclusive Trench Raider Dog Tag just for launching the game with the Play First trial during that time. Additionally, if you play the full ten hours before October 20, you will also have a Battlepack waiting for you in the full game.

After the release of the Early Enlister Deluxe Edition the rest of the maps and modes will be available to try out (assuming you haven’t used up your ten hours). Keep in mind that your progress and everything will carry over to the retail version and, yes, you can earn achievements during your trial. If you play the Battlefield 1 trial and like it and decide you want to buy it you can save 10% by buying it on Xbox Live.

Do you plan on downloading the Battlefield 1 trial and take it for a test run before the game’s release? Take a look at the trailer below and tell us what you think.
