A Risk-Free Method to Try Out EA Play—Origin Access Free Trial

If you're looking to sign up for Origin Access and run into EA Play, don’t get confused. They are the same now. Origin Access Basic and Premier were renamed into EA Play, but everything else is pretty much unchanged.

The platform is still located on its original Origin website, and the two-tier subscription provides its users with exclusive access to Electronic Arts games, rewards, discounts, and free gameplays.

Does Origin Access Have a Free Trial Now That It's Rebranded as EA Play?

EA Play sometimes offers trial periods for new subscribers, and when they do, the offer is posted on their website. The trial is usually a week-long and includes all the perks of the full subscription.

Origin offers two types of paid subscription—EA Play and EA Play Pro, and you may encounter a free trial for either.

How Can I Get a Free Trial for Origin Access/EA Play?

If you want to try out EA Play or EA Play Pro for free, the process is simple. Here is what you have to do:

1. Go to the Origin website
2. Click on the EA Play tab in the left-side menu
3. Scroll down until you see the section with the Join EA Play Today and Join Pro Today buttons
4. Choose the plan you want—if there is a free trial available, it should be stated above the join buttons
5. Follow the prompts to sign up

If you don't see a free trial button, you can check the Deals page on the website or check the offer a few weeks later.

When signing up for a free trial, you will be asked to leave your credit card info and choose the membership type you would like to try out.

How Much Will the Service Cost After the Origin Access Free Trial Expires?

Origin offers two types of memberships when signing up—EA Play and EA Play Pro. The trial versions, when available, include the same options as the full paid versions. You can also choose between paying monthly or signing up for an annual membership, which saves you up to 50%.

Will My EA Free Trial Automatically Renew Into a Paid Subscription?

Yes, the EA Play or EA Play Pro free trial will switch to a paid subscription automatically.

Since you left your credit card info, you will be charged for the price of the subscription you picked when signing up.

You can avoid this by canceling your trial at any time during those seven days.

If you forget to cancel and your account does get charged, the company offers no refunds, but you will have access to the service until the end of your subscription term.

The good news is that DoNotPay can help you sign up for an EA Play or EA Play Pro free trial without any risk of being charged after it ends.

DoNotPay's Virtual Credit Card Prevents Automatic Charges After a Free Trial of Origin Access/EA Play!

When signing up for an EA Play free trial, the best tool to use is a virtual credit card. Since you will be asked to provide your payment info, the company will charge your card without an additional warning as soon as the test run ends.

With our free virtual credit card, you can be as forgetful as you want. DoNotPay's virtual credit card generator enables you to create a new credit card number that you can use to sign up for services and verify your payment info without worrying about information abuse and theft.

Here is how it works:

1. Go to the Origin website
2. Follow the steps to sign up for a free trial until you reach the payment method part
3. Access DoNotPay from your web browser
4. Let Donotpay generate a virtual credit card number
5. Use that number as your payment detail
6. Complete the sign-up process

With our virtual credit card, your free trial will be approved instantly. After a week, Origin will try to charge you the full amount of the subscription, but they won't manage to do this.

This virtual credit card is not connected to your real credit card, which means no funds are available, and there is nothing to take from the card.

Your subscription is likely to be terminated at this point as well, but if you like the service, you can always use your real credit card to sign up again.
