The Play First Trial for Battlefield 1 is out now on Origin and Xbox One. This 10 hour trial is available to all Origin Access and EA Access subscribers. So by paying for a single month of the service (5 bucks) you can play a good chunk of BF1 before the game is officially released. Here's a snippet from EA on what's included in the trial.
Five maps and four modes will be available, including St. Quentin Scar, Amiens, Sinai Desert, Fao Fortress and Suez in the Conquest, Rush, Operations, and Domination modes. There’s also a taste of the singleplayer campaign, with the missions Storm of Steel and Through Mud and Blood. Your progress carries over, too, if you decide to buy the full game after your Play First Trial ends.
I got my fill of Star Wars: Battlefront through the EA Access 10 hour trial last year and am looking forward to probably doing the same with Battlefield this year. I've still got an ongoing yearly subscription to EA Access on the Xbox, but decided to invest 5 bucks to play it on the PC. Between the releases of Gears 4, Civ VI and Titanfall 2 I don't think that I'd have more than 10 hours to invest in Battlefield even if I did buy the full release. Then again EA/Origin Access entitles users to a 10% discount of the Battlefield 1, so there is a slight possibility that I'd pick the game up at the end of the trial if I find myself having a really good time with it.
