EA's Origin PC client has officially reached the end of the line. The gaming company had previously announced its plans to rebrand the Origin app for desktop players back in 2020 and began rolling out the new EA app in 2022.

For a long time, EA games could only be purchased, downloaded, and played digitally via EA Origin (at least on PCs). Eventually, some titles became available on Steam. Now, EA is altogether discontinuing Origin, which will be effective April 17, 2025.

EA is closing Origin on April 17, 2025, switching to the EA App due to Microsoft's 32-bit abandonment. Games and accounts will transfer to the EA App seamlessly, including saved data and cloud storage.
