Fight Night Champion Coming To The EA Access Vault

One of the most underrated sports games of all-time is getting another chance to shine this generation. Fight Night Champion will soon be added to the EA Access Vault for Xbox One.

For those not in the know, Fight Night Champion was a considerable departure from previous Fight Night games and is often lauded as the best in the series. Featuring a dedicated story mode in a sports game long before the likes of FIFA made it vogue, it’s truly baffling why the Fight Night franchise has been dormant for so long. It will be added for the Xbox One as part of the console’s backwards compatibility with the 360.

Halloween is just around the corner, and so are these great games! Find out what's coming to EA Access this October.

Elsewhere on EA Access, the recently released Burnout Paradise Remastered will also be added to the line-up; the original game was already included as part of GWG. It isn’t a huge upgrade on what was already a pretty excellent game, but a little bit of extra visual polish never hurt anybody.

In addition, Army of Two will also be joining the EA Access Vault later in the month. The co-op shooter has not stood the test of time all that well, but it could still prove to be pretty fun if you’re playing with a friend.

Fight Night Champion and Burnout Paradise Remastered join The Vault on October 10th whereas Army of Two will be added on October 17th. FIFA 18 was also recently added to the collection, just behind the release of FIFA 19.

EA Access is an Xbox One only program that gives you access to EA’s library of games after they have “fallen out of the limelight”, as it were. After anywhere between six months and a year of release, most of EA’s games are available for you to download and keep as long as you keep up your subscription. In addition, EA Access subscribers also get first access to new EA games with trials.
