Wondering why EA’s new Netflix-like Access program is on Xbox One and not PlayStation 4? Well, for starters, Sony doesn’t think it’s any good for their customers.
“We evaluated the EA Access subscription offering and decided that it does not bring the kind of value PlayStation customers have come to expect,” a Sony representative said to Game Informer. “PlayStation Plus memberships are up more than 200% since the launch of PlayStation 4, which shows that gamers are looking for memberships that offer a multitude of services, across various devices, for one low price. We don’t think asking our fans to pay an additional $5 a month for this EA-specific program represents good value to the PlayStation gamer.”
The program will also give discounts and early access to upcoming Xbox One games published by EA.
