- EA and Valve have struck a new partnership to bring EA's best (and worst) games back to Steam.
- Consequently, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will be available on Steam at launch, with titles like The Sims 4 and FIFA 20 migrating in the future.
- Unfortunately, EA is involved, so there's a ridiculously large catch.
EA 'Sims 4' has come to Steam and while gamers are rejoicing to have the classic title come to their beloved platform, it doesn't come without baggage. For the longest time, you would have to download EA's platform Origin. While many people didn't care for it, it was the sacrifice we had to make. Now though, we have it on Steam, but it may not be what we expected. Steam is more of a community - I prefer it - it seems to give you more in-depth control and is more immersive than Origin. Origin is basically just an online store - it lacks information about products - Steam has community hubs, forums, announcements, client updates, product updates, press releases, etc, etc, etc. Planning on buying this game on steam but id like to know if it can support my macbookpro 13inch M1? If not then should i buy it on origin? How to add The Sims 4 on your Mac if you have a PC-only disc of the game. Download Origin for Mac on Origin.com. Create an EA Account or log in with an existing EA Account. Note: An account is required to play The Sims 4. Under the Games pull-down menu (top left), click Redeem Product Code.
After rumors started circulating last week, courtesy of some telling file package changes, Electronic Arts (EA) has formally announced a partnership with Valve that will bring Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, The Sims 4, FIFA 20, and other EA titles to Steam.
EA Access Subscription Leads The Charge

We have some news… https://t.co/0dTe8Sa1NJpic.twitter.com/LKfqwBxN5B

The publisher isn't merely bringing its catalog back to the digital storefront, but a new subscription service, EA Access, will feature on Steam from Spring 2020 alongside individual titles.
In a press release penned for the occasion, the company says,
Flight Sims For Mac
'EA Access is the first and only gaming subscription service available on Steam.'
The service is entirely separate and distinct from the publisher's existing subscriptions, notably the Basic and Premier Origin Access tiers. We don't yet know whether any of the features will carry over, nor do we have an idea of pricing.
EA promises access to what it calls The Vault – essentially, curated access to EA's back-catalog. Alongside is 'a medley of awards' including discounts on non-Vault games and in-game rewards for EA's biggest releases.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, The Sims 4, & Other Major Titles
To kick things off, EA is making Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order available on Steam in line with a worldwide release on Nov. 15. Pre-orders are currently available.
From there, EA plans a staggered release of titles on the platform. Microsoft office for mac free download with product key.
'In the coming months, players on Steam will also be able to play other major titles like The Sims 4 and Unravel Two. Multiplayer games—like Apex Legends, FIFA 20, and Battlefield V—will become available next year.'
The staggered release is presumably to stress-test the behind-the-scenes integration of the Origin game launcher into Steam.
On that topic, EA stopped short of describing how this would work. The publisher points out that players on both Steam and Origin can play together in multiplayer games. Such functionality suggests the usage of the same launcher. As such, we imagine downloading and installing the controversial Origin client is a prerequisite for games bought via Steam.

The Steam listing for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order appears to back this up alongside noting the need for an EA Account.

There you have it. You'll soon be able to play the very best and very worst of EA's titles, stifling micro-transactions and all, on Steam.
