Star Wars Battlefront hits EA Access with Darth Vader mini-game

On November 17th, Star Wars Battlefront will be hitting PC, PS4 and Xbox One, but for now you can find Battlefront on your Xbox One as part of the EA Access line-up. The download is roughly 19GB, so be prepared for a long download if you've got a rough internet download speed.

The question is, what are you going to do as the game downloads? Start a knitting hobby? I don't think so. Luckily enough, EA and DICE have cooked up something for you to do while you wait for the game to download.

Once a portion of the game has been downloaded, you can play a Darth Vader-themed mini-game. The mini-game will have you playing as the Sith Lord and slaying Rebel Scum. While you play, a kill count will monitor your progress at the top of the screen and will stop counting when the game is around 99% downloaded.

Unfortunately, the moment you step into Vader's shoes, your EA Access timer begins to count down. That's right — the mini-game takes away from your 10 hour EA Access limit. If you want to maximize the amount of time you have playing Battlefront… Do not play the game.
