EA Access is a video gaming subscription service available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One that lets you play EA’s best games as much as you want. Right now, you can get a one-month EA Access subscription for Xbox One for just $4 at CDKeys. This subscription service allows you to preview EA’s new releases before they come out, gives you an exclusive member discount of 10% off on digital purchases, and grants you instant access to a massive collection of EA games. With hundreds of titles to choose from, there are games for everyone included in this service. Some of the hottest titles from EA that are available now include FIFA 20, NHL20, and NFS Heat.

If you’ve been stuck at home for weeks and you’re a gamer, odds are you have blown through a few games already. Whether or not you go through games quickly, if you are looking for some new games to play, EA Access is an excellent way to access some of the most popular titles in the world. EA Access allows you to try the publisher’s new games before they launch. But the coolest part of this perk is that your save progress carries over to the full game if you decide to buy it when it releases.

Along with that impressive feature, you also receive 10% off of all purchases of full EA games, season passes, and DLC with your subscription. Subscribers also get access to expansion packs for popular games like Star Wars Battlefront.

Your access to games remains unlimited as long as your subscription is active, so maintaining a subscription is a great way to keep a fully stocked library. If you have multiple gamers in your house or just like playing various titles at once, the subscription is well worth it. If you wish to check out some new games or try out older games before buying them, having the subscription for a month or two is beneficial as well.

EA does more than just make sports games. It has produced some of the most popular titles for Xbox over the years, including Plants vs. Zombies, Anthem, and Battlefield V. You can also play classic titles like The Bard’s Tale Trilogy, The Sims, and Bejeweled. There are games for people of all ages and skill levels available through EA Access.

Racing fan? Save $50 on an Xbox Series X with Forza Horizon 5

Forza Horizon 5 is one of the best racing games of all time, and there's no better way to play it than on the Microsoft Xbox Series X. If you don't own the console yet, you can currently get the 1TB version with a copy of Forza Horizon 5 for just $510 from Dell, for $50 in savings on the bundle's original price of $560. There's no telling when the offer will end though, so if you're interesting in making the purchase, you're going to have to push through with the transaction as soon as possible.

Why you should buy Microsoft Xbox Series X
The Microsoft Xbox Series X is a powerful system that offers sharp graphics and quick load times, plus a familiar interface for gamers who have grown up alongside the Xbox ecosystem. Between the Xbox Series X versus Xbox Series S, the Xbox Series X is the clear winner because it provides a cutting-edge gaming experience with faster processing alongside better resolution and frame rate. Meanwhile, when comparing the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, the major advantages of Microsoft's console are its cross-generation compatibility for its games and accessories, and the Xbox Game Pass, a subscription-based service that provides access to a massive library of titles.

This 32-inch 4K monitor is $70 off in Dell’s Black Friday in July sale

If you're looking for a 4k monitor with relatively budget pricing, Dell's 32-inch monitor, aptly named the S3221QS, is a great option. Even better, due to the Black Friday sale in July, you get a pretty great discount from Dell, bringing it down to $330 from the usual $399. It's also a curved monitor, which is excellent for content watching, and while they aren't as common anymore, this is a great deal to pick one up.

Why you should buy the Dell S3221QS 32-inch monitor
One thing we appreciate about the Dell S3221QS is that it's a VA panel, which is something that sits in the middle of usual TN panels and IPS panels. That means you get great viewing angles, in this case, 178 degrees horizontally, and great image reproduction. It also supports HDR playback of content, and while this won't be as good as HDR you might find on mid-range TVs, it's a nice addition, especially since it bumps up the monitor's peak brightness to 300 nits. That means you can use it in a well-light room and with indirect lighting relatively easily, and the anti-glare coating certainly helps with that too.
