New EA PC app starts to replace Origin

Sorry, Mac users...

A new EA PC app is now available and is designed to replace the existing Origin app.

“We set out to build EA’s next-generation PC game platform – a faster, more reliable, and more streamlined gaming experience – the best possible place for you to experience EA’s incredible games, services and content,” EA advised in a post detailing the new app.

“We’re thrilled to announce that the EA app has officially left its open beta phase and will soon replace Origin as our primary PC platform,” the publisher continued. “The EA app is our fastest and lightest PC client to date. With the new streamlined design you will easily find the games and content you’re looking for and discover your new favorite games. With automatic game downloads and background updates you can ensure that your games are ready to play when you are.”

The app will also let you link Steam, Xbox and PlayStation accounts to let you connect with friends from other ecosystems.

While EA will invite Origin users in a rolling fashion, those impatient players can grab the new EA app here. The new app is currently available to Windows PC users; Mac users will need to stick with Origin for now.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
