Do PC users who preorder through Origin have access to EA Access? Or is this a Xbox exclusive?

You don't need to pre-order the game you want early access to and doing so won't grant you early access. There is apparently a free month if you've purchased a product on Origin but I have to look it up because I cannot with certainty verify that.

You only need to start a monthly subscription to gain access to Origin Access (PC) or EA Access (Xbox) amongst other things. It's about five dollars. You also gain a 10% discount on products including Mass Effect: Andromeda. As far as I know, you cannot subscribe for only one month, only for a monthly subscription plan but you can cancel your subscription after making it so you won't have your Origin Access be renewed each month:

ShadowyDragon: "Can I superscribe today, play this tomorrow and then buy BF1 with a discount? They are mine to keep after I cancel the sub? And games purchased with that discount stay?"

obs_snakelet: "Yes. You can cancel the subscription right away and you will have 1 month of EA/Origin Access, which includes the 10% discount off all purchases made during that month. I purchased Origin Access last month and cancelled it 2 minutes later. It is still valid until 25th October"

Note: For those curious, EA Access is not avaliable for Playstation because Sony turned it down apparently due to having Playstation Plus.

Edit note: I deleted a portion of my post because I had someone with a better understanding of math take a look at the price and percent. Said someone found it didn't add up that way in the case of this game. The rest of my post should be good, though.

... What do you vaulters think? Would it spoil the SP by jumping in the MP just before release?

If someone is only interested in multiplayer, it won't matter, but the multiplayer map will be from worlds to be revealed in the single-player game.
With ME3, I'm not sure I would have wanted to drop into maps that Shepard would visit later in the game spoiled.

Though the temptation to clear my noobiness in the multiplayer is real.

I'd say it is almost certain that the multiplayer maps will feature locations from the game itself and likely enemies as well so playing it might very well result in spoilers. Depending on what surprises the story holds, it might be rather serious ones at that. I'm planning on keeping away from multiplayer until I've finished the story. It might save my would-be teammates from unhelpful floundering on my behalf.

I am curious to see if Andromeda's multiplayer will offer a variety of races like ME3's multiplayer. I expect it will either on release or later on but I would appreciate and I do hope that the customization options will be unlocked for each character from the start. Oh and if I purchase a crate that is specifically advised towards characters, could said crate please contain at least one character?
