As fans of Crysis eagerly await the return of the series, playing the original games just became a lot easier. The Crysis trilogy is headed to EA Access, allowing players to enjoy the games on the Xbox One. But there are a few ways that players can enjoy the titles.
Crysis is one of the most technically impressive shooters out there. Fans have loved the games for its gameplay, technical prowess, and intriguing story. Anyone looking to catch up on the games, or enjoy them on the Xbox One for the first time, have a few different options to do so.
EA Access will be the easiest method to jump back into the Crysis franchise while players wait for Crysis Remastered, which was revealed earlier this year. But because of the backward compatibility of the Xbox One, people without EA Access can also enjoy the games.
Playing the Crysis Trilogy with EA Access
EA Access is continually adding new content, and the Crysis trilogy is the newest addition. To enjoy the service, and take advantage of playing the Crysis games, a subscription to EA Acess is required. Players can either subscribe for singular months at a time, or for a full year. The EA Access application can be downloaded straight from the Xbox store.
Crysis, Crysis 2, and Crysis 3 are all now available on the service. The interconnected story of the first three games is interesting, and having all the games in one place is great. Many were hoping for Crysis 4, as a continuation of the story, which would have made playing these first three in leading up to the game Crysis 4 truly special. But regardless, catching up on the games in anticipation of CrysisRemastered should still be a blast.
Playing the Crysis games with Xbox One Backward Compatibility
The backward compatibility of the Xbox One has been seen as a big success in terms of player-friendly features and services. Backward compatibility will most likely continue to be an important feature for Xbox moving forward with the Xbox Series X.
When it comes to Crysis, the games are not available to purchase digitally. However, physical copies of the Crysis games for Xbox 360 can be inserted into the Xbox One, and the backward compatibility will allow the games to be played.
So whether it is with EA Acess or with a physical Xbox 360 disc, Crysis games can be played on the Xbox One while fans wait for the delayed Crysis Remastered.
