You have until 10am PST / 1pm EST / 5 pm BST on Tuesday, May 28 to claim a free copy of The Sims 4's standard edition, which normally goes for $40 on Origin. You don't need an Origin Access Basic or Premier subscription to claim it, and you'll get to keep your copy forever.
No, Origin is free. Games bought from stores are redeemed in your Origin account. There is EA Access, which is paid, but it's a completely optional thing. Buying into it (small monthly fee) gives you access to certain EA titles at no extra cost.
How much is Origin Access Basic? An Origin Access Basic membership is just $4.99 a month. Or you can save even more by signing up for a full year for $29.99 - a membership pays for itself if you buy even one game with your 10% discount!
The Sims 4 is free to download from EA Origin today on PC and Mac but the deal won't be around forever. According to the official Sims Twitter account, The Sims 4 is a free download from Origin until May 28. That gives fans a full week to head over to the platform and claim their free game before it disappears.

Re: Star Wars BattleFront EA Access
@iFlxmes Hey, there's no requirement to get EA Access in order to play our games. If you've bought the game it's yours to play. You would need an active Xbox Live Gold subscription to play online, if you're having issues playing.No you do not. You can purchase the game you want to play from Origin directly, and then play it any time you want.
EA Access is worth buying. For $4.99, you can immediately expand your game collection and try new titles. The discounts and early access trials are great, but its easy access to Madden 19, Battlefield 1, Star Wars: Battlefront and other sports games are what make EA Access so great.
An EA Access membership is just $4.99 a month - buy one new EA game, and your membership pays for itself with your 10% discount. Or you can save even more when you sign up for a full year for $29.99.
Battlefield 5 is Now Free With Origin Access Basic Subscription. In an unexpected move, EA has chosen to make Battlefield 5 free to play to all subscribers of Origin Access Basic; the company's monthly subscription service. Of course, the service does already offer access to plenty of other games.

The idea was to have Battlefront II—a game that already costs $60—make EA a pile of extra cash by forcing players to make lots of in-game purchases to unlock popular characters, such as Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker, more quickly.
This is the first major Star Wars release for EA since Battlefront II, which attracted widespread criticism due to its use of loot boxes. This will culminate in 2020 with the launch of EA Access on Steam. EA Access is the company's game subscription service, which has already launched on PS4, Xbox One, and Origin (PC).
