Meanwhile, there still no version of EA Access available for Sony's PlayStation 4. The Japanese tech giant made a huge statement recently, saying that the EA gaming service does not offer the kind of value PlayStation fans have come to expect. The EA Access is a Netflix-style program that allows gamers to pay $5 per month for unlimited access to a vast library of game titles. Originally pitched for both Microsoft and Sony game consoles, the subscription-based gaming service launched only on Microsoft's Xbox consoles in August 2014.

Sony believes that PS4 players are more interested in subscription plans that give them access to a wide range of gaming services, unlike the EA Access service, which only offers EA-published games. However, Sony made some statement recently that it still open to some talks with EA about bringing EA Access to PS4 players.
