When it comes to gaming, you can never have too many things to play. One day you might be into a lengthy adventure game. The next, you might decide you want to jump into a co-op session with friends. Platforms like EA Play make it easy to try out tons of different games without having to break the bank. The subscription service is celebrating its 10-year anniversary, with members having played over 230 million game trial hours and 760 million rewards across its platform since its August 2014 inception. And now, EA is offering an enticing deal to count you among its members as well.

As of August 2, you can score EA Play for just 99 cents for your first month across Xbox, PlayStation, and PC from now through August 15. That's $4 off a monthly subscription fee. This offer only applies to new members, and only the basic EA Play tier, which is otherwise $39.99 a year. The EA Play Pro tier is not included in this discount.

EA Play is a great way to check out some of the best and brightest games from the company. Choose from a curated list of games like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, The Sims 4, and It Takes Two and play them as long as you want, all for free. There are tons of different games to choose from, and you can try them out all at your leisure, just like with Xbox Game Pass. But you also get a great perk when it comes to new releases, too. EA Play allows you to try the hottest new games with 10-hour trials that don't cost you a dime. If you decide to buy, you can keep all your progress.

Additionally, there are free in-game rewards to collect as well as a 10% discount off every purchase you make from Electronic Arts, including on game downloads, season passes, DLC and more. If you play a lot of EA titles or want to see what the catalog looks like, jumping in for a dollar is a great idea. There's a lot to see, and even if you decide to stay on at the $5.99 monthly fee, it's well worth joining for the value.
