Is EA coming back to Steam?

A number of clues that suggest that EA is coming back to Steam on PC were bolstered by a teaser tweet by the publisher itself.

EA posted a tweet that featured an EA-branded coffee mug with steam pouring from its top. That’s it — no additional text was added to the media.

While that’s hardly a confirmation in itself, Redditors have been collecting a series of indicators that EA is preparing to release (or re-release) titles on Steam, more than eight years after removing titles like Crysis 2 from Steam and launching its Origin service.

First, Redditors have noticed that The Saboteur, a game never available on Steam, now has its own record there. Next, Dragon Age II has been updated with a new Steam package. Finally, a test app similar to one made for Uplay is being tested to integrate Origin with Steam.

Nothing’s been confirmed as yet; we’ll let you know as more is made available.

Steve Wright

Steve is the founder of Stevivor, which itself is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’ -- that made more sense back in 2001 when Steve first arrived in the country and 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.

Steve has recently gathered a career's worth of writing on swright.au, his personal portfolio.
