Anthem @anthemgame There are three different ways that you can play Anthem before it launches on February 22, 2019: the VIP demo, Early Access with Origin Access Premier, and the Play First Trial on EA Access and Origin Access Basic.
As we’re clearing our February social calendars for maximum uninterrupted Anthem™ play time, we wanted to make clear exactly how to take advantage of the different opportunities to play before launch.
There are three different ways that you can play Anthem before it launches on February 22, 2019: the VIP demo, Early Access with Origin Access Premier, and the Play First Trial on EA Access and Origin Access Basic.
VIP Demo
The VIP demo kicks off on February 1, 2019 and is open to players who’ve pre-ordered Anthem* as well as current EA Access and Origin Access subscribers**. Both Standard and Legion of Dawn pre-orders receive access to the demo. EA Access and Origin Access members need to have an active subscription at the time of the demo (February 1, 2019) to get access.
Early Access†
Early access begins on February 15, 2019 for Origin Access Premier members. This lets you play the full game a week before launch on PC. Members will have early unlimited access to EA’s full games on PC to play as much as they want five days before launch, as long as they are subscribed to Origin Access Premier. Origin Access Premier members also receive access to 140+ games in The Vault, our library of games that just keeps growing all the time.
Play First Trial
EA Access (for Xbox One) and Origin Access Basic (for PC) members will get to play 10 hours of Anthem as part of the Play First Trial starting on February 15, 2019**. Progress made in the game during the free trial will carry over to the full game if purchased with your 10% member discount or if you become Origin Access Premier member.
Here are also a couple of questions we’ve seen crop up that we’d like to answer directly.
Q: What if I pre-ordered the game but I’m not an EA Access or Origin Access member? A: If you pre-ordered the Legion of Dawn Edition or the Standard edition, you’ll get access to the February 1 demo. If you pre-ordered but aren’t an EA Access or Origin Access member, you won’t get any Early Access benefits even though you’ll be able to play the full game when it comes out on February 22, 2019.
Q: What do I get as an Origin Access Basic member? A: If you’re an Origin Access Basic member, you’ll get access to the February 1 demo and the Play First Trial for PC. You’ll get to play 10 hours of Anthem starting on February 15, but you’ll have to purchase the full game when it comes out on February 22, 2019 to play beyond those 10 hours. Upgrading to Origin Access Premier will give you the full game to play as much as you want with Early Access on February 15, 2019.
Alain Baxter @alainbaxter It’s snowing outside, got some great Anthem pins, hit a major milestone, grabbed a beer (thanks @benoit_Houle) and now playing Anthem with work colleagues. Best. WorkDay. EVAR. #AnthemGame #anthemfriday
I'll be doing the usual Frostbite wait until the worst of the netcode and rubber-banding problems have been fixed, about 3 weeks after release. If we're lucky.
Ooo, just noticed the new highlighter option in Proboards editor. Has that been around for a while?
Inquisitor: Is that innuendo? Sera: No, it's at the front!

Enjoy your Wrex statue!
One day, the magic will come back. All of it. Everyone will be just like they were. The shadows will part, and the skies will open wide. When he rises, everyone will see. -Sandal Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a world to save. Again. -Inquisitor
Emily (aka Domino) pentapod Male co-worker: I get so caught up in work, how can I keep it in perspective to go home at a reasonable time? Me: You’re male, you’re in your late 40s, chances are pretty good you’ll be dead in 20 years. Go home to your family. MCW: 😨
