The upcoming Need for Speed reboot is slated to release on March 15, but it seems there’s now a way to play the game earlier if you’re really anxious to get your hands on it.

EA’s Origin Access service will make the trial version of Need for Speed available to Windows PC subscribers who pay $4.99 for the service. The game was originally released in the fall of 2015 for Xbox One and it’s now coming to PC users, as well. Origin tweeted the following about the trial:

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
