Electronic Arts has announced the next game coming to the EA Access library on Xbox One. NBA Live 16 will be added to the lineup on May 25, following Rory McIlroy PGA Tour on May 10.

EA Access is currently available only on Xbox One, though a PC version called Origin Access arrived earlier this year. You can sign up for $5/month or $30/year.

In addition to the free games, other subscription benefits include a 10-percent discount on all EA digital content and access to upcoming EA titles five days before they are released publicly.

Games featured in the Vault will never be removed, EA has promised.

In GameSpot's NBA Live 16 review, critic Josiah Renaudin awarded the game 6/10.

"Even with improved on-court control and an online Pro-Am mode that can lead to pockets of outlandish fun, NBA Live 16 still fails to justify its existence," he said. "Its Rising Star and Dynasty modes are too underdeveloped and unvaried to remain interesting beyond the first few hours of play, and the basic dribbling, passing, and shooting tend to trip over themselves during offensive rebounds or fast breaks.

"NBA Live 16 is heading in the right direction, but at this pace, the series will never be able to challenge--let alone surpass--its only real contemporary."
