PVZ fans should also take advantage of the EA Access Free Play Days for Xbox One owners. Binge-play the original “Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare” game and prepare for the arrival of the upcoming iteration of the famous tower defense and multiplayer third-person shooter video game from PopCap. “Your characters earned carry over – plus EA Access members get 10 percent off EA games, and get to play GW2 before it hits the shelves,” Major Nelson explained.
Aside from Xbox One, Garden Warfare 2 is also set to arrive next month on PS4 and PC. Check out “Plants Vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2” beta trailer below, released by the official Youtube channel of PVZ a week ago.
EA Access membership costs $4.99 monthly. But those who wish to be a member, but wants a cheaper option can opt for a full-year subscription which is worth $29.99. Xbox One users who will decide to get EA Access membership afterward can continue to enjoy the games where they left off, maintain their Gamerscore as well as achievements they acquired during the Free Play Days.
As for other free Xbox One games, Xbox Live’s Games with Gold promotion makes “Zheros” available for $0 starting today, January 16, up to February 15. A separate page from Major Nelson provided a description for the Rimlight Studios’ action and adventure game for Xbox One.
“In a journey through distant and unknown galaxies, you play as the members of the ZHEROS squad: Mike and Captain Dorian. Brave, strong as awkward and dim-witted the first one; agile, smart and ready for anything the second one. They are both intergalactic agents called to defend the universe from crime. From bizarre characters and encounters to strange locations, find out what mystery awaits you at the end of your journey.”
“Zheros” as well as “Deus Ex: Human Revolution” are available for free for Xbox One owners who are also Xbox Live Gold members as part of Microsoft’s January 2016’s Games with Gold offer.
