EA Access members would be happy to know that one new game is already in the vault, and another one will be joining in for the month of May. "Rory McIlroy PGA Tour" came in last week, and "NBA Live 16" will join next week.

The "Rory McIlroy PGA Tour" game is now accessible in the Vault. It was added on May 10, while "NBA Live 16" will be added next week, according to Twitter posts made by the company.

Those who enjoy playing golf will love "Rory McIlroy PGA Tour," which offers the most realistic golf details. It was originally released last July 2015, which coincided with the 2015 Open Championship, and uses the proprietary Frostbite 3 engine that renders realistic surroundings. It also offers the courses as a single map and not separately.

The game introduced new swing modes and assists, plus a challenge mode, offered in an arcade-style gameplay. The 2015 game is the first in the series since 1998 that does not feature Tiger Woods.

"NBA Live 16" was released in September 2015, and it features Russel Westbrook as its cover athlete. Westbrook is the point guard of Oklahoma City Thunder.

The 2016 version contains improved features such as defensive and offensive plays, passing play, shooting play and dribbling play.

Additionally, EA Access members are already enjoying the 15-game lineup that the Vault contains. These include "Madden NFL 16," "Battlefield Hardline, " "Dragon Age: Inquisition," "Titanfall," "FIFA 15," "Battlefield 4," "Madden NFL 15," and "Need for Speed Rivals. " Also available are "Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare," "NHL 15," "EA Sports UFC," "NBA LIVE 15," "Peggle 2," "FIFA 14, " and "Madden NFL 25."

For those interested, EA Access can be availed of for US$4.99 a month. Perks included are early access to upcoming EA games, 10 percent discount on digital downloads of EA games on Xbox One, and a chance to have unlimited playtime for any of the EA games that are added monthly in the vault.
