The multiplayer shooter Star Wars Battlefront is set to be playable on Xbox One before its PC and PlayStation 4 release.
Star Wars Battlefront arrives on November 17 and is expected to be one of the gaming events of 2015. Xbox One players with EA Access will be able to get their hands on blasters, lightsabers, or the controllers of a speeder a few days earlier. Xbox head Phil Spencer announced this via Twitter:
@MJC3809 @majornelson @EAAccess @XboxQwik @DMC_Ryan Yes you can play SW: Battlefront first on Xbox One, exclusively with @EAAccess
— Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) July 20, 2015
EA Access is a special service from Electronic Arts that has been available for Xbox One since last August. Subscribers to this service can play Electronic Arts titles a few days earlier and carry over their progress to the release.
It can be assumed that the Battlefront deal will bring additional revenue to the service.
