OriginER
Origin (OriginER) was EA's digital distribution platform and game launcher for Mac and PC, allowing users to purchase, download, and play EA games like FIFA, The Sims, Battlefield, and other EA titles. The app provided game library management, automatic updates, cloud saves, and social features to connect with friends. It served as the primary way to access EA's catalog of games on Mac, similar to how Steam works for Valve games. Origin was particularly important for Mac gamers who wanted to play popular EA franchises that were available on macOS.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionEA has discontinued the Origin client and replaced it with the EA App, which is currently only available for Windows. Unfortunately, EA has not released a native Apple Silicon version of Origin, nor have they brought the new EA App to Mac at all. This means Mac users have lost official access to EA's game library. Your best alternatives are to use Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion to run Windows and the EA App virtually, or wait to see if EA eventually brings their new launcher to Mac. Some individual EA games may still be available through other platforms like Steam.
