EA Officially Launches New App on PC to Replace Origin

EA has officially launched their new PC app as they phase out their Origin PC platform. With the new streamlined design, you will be able to find the games and content you’re looking for more easily. The automatic download and background updates of games will ensure they are ready to play when you are.

Your EA account can be connected to Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation so that you can build your ultimate friends list. The unique ID you create will help you be easily identified. Once connected, you’ll be able to see what your friends are playing so you can join them.

For our Origin players, we’ve worked hard to make the transition to the EA app as simple as possible. We will be inviting you to make the move soon, and by the time you receive your invite, all your games and content, including games previously installed, will be ready and waiting for you on the EA app. Your local and cloud saves will transfer forward ensuring you can pick up where you left off. Your friends list transfers, too, so you won’t have to worry about remembering all those player IDs.

PC players can download the new app here. Mac users can continue using Origin for Mac.
