As always with EA's titles (except Titanfall 2), those subscribing to the Access service on PC (Origin) or Xbox One get a head start in FIFA 17, and it starts from today.
You'll get access to the whole game, meaning all game modes including The Journey, and your progress will be saved in case you decide to buy the game after launch on September 29. The Access model allows you to play FIFA 17 for ten hours, but the story mode The Journey is gated at a certain point.
Now you just have to download the 40 GB file, and you're good to go. Make sure you check out our review first, though.
