Microsoft is rolling out a new version of the EA Access Hub app on the Xbox One. The release is only available for those in the Xbox Insider program for now, and while Microsoft hasn"t given a whole lot of detail, there are a few improvements on board: a new design, featured content, better game recommendations, and improved performance.
The update won"t roll out as a normal update, and you"ll need to trigger it by going to the Xbox Insider Hub. Here"s how to do it:
- Launch the Xbox Insider Hub app on your Xbox One console (or install the Xbox Insider Hub from the Store first if necessary).
- From the side menu on the main landing page, navigate to Insider content > Apps > EA Access Hub.
- Select Join.
- Selecting Join will redirect to the Store to install the updated version of the app.
Naturally, the EA Access Hub is exclusively meant for those subscribed to EA Access, a subscription-based service which Microsoft and EA launched all the way back in 2014. It"s similar to the Xbox Game Pass, but it focuses on titles from Electronic Arts. It"s also significantly cheaper, at just $4.99 per month or $29.99 per year.
