Can you play games at EA PLAY 2018?

Yes, on a first-come, first-serve basis there are two ways to play games at EA PLAY:

• Gameplay ticket – If you pre-register, you will have the chance to book a gameplay session for one game. Gameplay ticket holders will have priority access to EA PLAY.
• Stand-by line – If your favorite game is fully booked in advance, you still have a chance to get hands-on by jumping into the standby line once inside EA PLAY.

That's all the EA PLAY 2018 news for now, but keep it locked on Shacknews as we are now less than two months away from E3 2018. In case you missed it, check out our excellent PAX East 2018 coverage from last week.
