If you have Origin Access, you will get a ten-hour trail for Mass Effect: Andromeda. You’ll probably want to split that time between single-player and mutliplayer, though, as the single-player portion will be gated.
Check out our list of upcoming PC games for more future hits.
It’s not clear what section of the single-player will be available, though it’s likely the opening section. However, up to a certain point you won’t be able to progress.
From there, you can either explore, play it again, or jump into the unrestricted multiplayer.
@Xartain you can play it all in sp if you want, but it is gated (you can't cont story after a point, but can explore or restart for ex)

Elsewhere, it was revealed that players can play multiplayer to unlock caches full of rewards for their single-player campaign.
The contents of these loot boxes was not revealed. However, you can also unlock them by sending out AI squads from the single-player, if you don’t want to try out multi.
The Origin Access trial begins on March 16, while the game launches proper on March 23.
