Need for Speed PC Now Available to Play via Origin Access

By Keith MitchellMarch 9, 2016

While the original date for the Need for Speed PC early access via Origin Access wasn’t set until tomorrow, 3.10.2016. It looks like EA has decided to start a day early and has allowed anyone who signed up for Origin Access to download and play the title as of today. I’m currently downloading as I type and will stream this bad boy later on today.
