The EA app is available to all players on a (minimum) 64-bit PC system, running Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11.

Has the EA app replaced Origin on PC?
Yes it has. The EA app is now our primary platform for downloading and launching PC games.
I’ve been asked to download the EA app, what should I expect?
When you accept the invitation, the EA app download process will begin. Origin will be uninstalled automatically - this ensures you will not experience any conflicts or errors related to having both clients installed on your PC simultaneously. Once you complete the update process, your games and content will be ready for play.
Will all my games and content transfer to the EA app?
By the time you receive your invite through Origin, all your games, DLC and other content should be ready to launch through the EA app. If you find anything missing from the EA app, please contact us so we can resolve the issue.
Will I have to re-download my Origin games on the EA app?
No. The games you’ve downloaded through Origin should be ready to launch through the EA app. If you find any of your games, DLC or other content missing from the EA app, please contact us so we can help resolve the issue.
How do I log in to the EA app?
Your EA Account is what you use today to log into Origin - just use the same credentials to log in to the EA app.
What will happen to my data, purchases, and friends list?
Your information (achievements, friends list, cloud data, purchases, in-game hours, & more) carries over when you log in to the EA app.
I use Origin on my Mac. What do I need to do?
Nothing at all. Origin for Mac is still the place to access and play your games.
If I play my EA games on Steam or Epic, do I need to download the EA app?
The EA app is required in order to play EA games on PC. If you launch an EA title on Steam or Epic, we’ll provide guidance for installing the EA app (and uninstalling Origin if applicable) to ensure you can access & play your EA games.
