EA Access is a video gaming subscription service available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One that lets you play EA’s best games as much as you want. Right now, you can get a one-month EA Access subscription for Xbox One for just $4 at CDKeys. This subscription service allows you to preview EA’s new releases before they come out, gives you an exclusive member discount of 10% off on digital purchases, and grants you instant access to a massive collection of EA games. With hundreds of titles to choose from, there are games for everyone included in this service. Some of the hottest titles from EA that are available now include FIFA 20, NHL20, and NFS Heat.

If you’ve been stuck at home for weeks and you’re a gamer, odds are you have blown through a few games already. Whether or not you go through games quickly, if you are looking for some new games to play, EA Access is an excellent way to access some of the most popular titles in the world. EA Access allows you to try the publisher’s new games before they launch. But the coolest part of this perk is that your save progress carries over to the full game if you decide to buy it when it releases.

Along with that impressive feature, you also receive 10% off of all purchases of full EA games, season passes, and DLC with your subscription. Subscribers also get access to expansion packs for popular games like Star Wars Battlefront.

Your access to games remains unlimited as long as your subscription is active, so maintaining a subscription is a great way to keep a fully stocked library. If you have multiple gamers in your house or just like playing various titles at once, the subscription is well worth it. If you wish to check out some new games or try out older games before buying them, having the subscription for a month or two is beneficial as well.

EA does more than just make sports games. It has produced some of the most popular titles for Xbox over the years, including Plants vs. Zombies, Anthem, and Battlefield V. You can also play classic titles like The Bard’s Tale Trilogy, The Sims, and Bejeweled. There are games for people of all ages and skill levels available through EA Access.

The 5 best gaming laptop deals in Dell’s 4th of July sale

The Dell G15 gaming laptop powered by AMD Ryzen.

While gaming desktops are great, they don't have the same excellent portability as gaming laptops. So, if you've always wanted one of the latter, then these 4th of July sales are the perfect opportunity to grab yourself one. Of course, if you do want to go for a more traditional desktop option that's still from Dell, then these Alienware 4th of July deals are worth taking a look at, while our roundup of the best gaming laptop 4th of July deals should give you a few more options on top of that.
G15 Gaming Laptop -- $1,000, was $1,150

The Dell G15 is probably one of the most popular gaming laptops on the market when it comes to budget-oriented options. In this configuration, you get a solid RTX 406o, which should easily handle the FHD resolution and 165Hz refresh rate of the monitor with minimal graphical compromises. The Intel Core i7-13650HX is also a reasonably powerful CPU that will handle most games just fine, and productivity tasks should be a relative breeze to do on the G15. Similarly, the 16GB of DDR5 RAM means you get some good speed and capacity for having apps and tabs open, while the 1TB SSD is a good start and will probably be enough for a year or so of gaming before you may have to start deleting games or thinking of expansion with an external hard drive deal.
