After the Super Bowl, the American football hype is likely to have declined somewhat, and the sales figures for the Madden NFL 17 title from EA Sports are likely to have declined.

The publisher has now made the decision to make the game available several months after release in the EA Access Vault on the Xbox One. Subscriber to the service, as long as they are paying members, can play numerous games, including Madden NFL 2017. FIFA 17, which is much more popular in our broadcasts, is likely to land after the Champions League final in the EA Access Vault.

EA Access subscribers have yet another game they can download for free today. As announced previously, EA's Madden NFL 17 joins the library of Vault games today on Xbox One.

Subscribers can play the full version of the game for as long as their subscription remains active. Madden NFL 17 becomes the fourth Madden title in the Vault.

Access to Vault games is the primary benefit of being an EA Access member. Other perks include discounts on digital EA games and DLC, as well as early access to most upcoming EA games. That includes Mass Effect: Andromeda.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

A version of EA Access called Origin Access is available on PC, but the Madden series is exclusive to consoles.

Both EA Access and Origin Access have dozens of free games available to subscribers. You can see lists of all them here.

If you've got an EA Access membership, congratulations! You are now the proud owner of Madden NFL 17. Well, technically, you have temporary access to it as long as you're a member... you know how it all works.
