Confirming a report from May, Microsoft this week announced that all Xbox Live Gold members on Xbox One can try EA Access for free from June 12-22. During this time, users can download and play any of the more than 20 titles in the EA Access Vault, including Dragon Age: Inquisition, Battlefield 4, Battlefield Hardline, Titanfall and FIFA 16.

Come June 12, Gold members can download the EA Access Hub app to get started. In an Xbox Wire post, Microsoft also mentioned that a credit card is not required for the promo period.

After the trial period ends, you can subscribe to EA Access for $5/month or $30/year. Progress made on Vault games (including Gamerscore and achievements) during the promo period will carry forward, should you decide to become a subscriber.

As mentioned, this promotion was first outed in the middle of May, but this is the first time we're getting full details about it.
