EA has officially launched a replacement app for its PC client Origin. After more than a decade, Origin is being retired in favor of the EA App, which the company says is its “fastest and lightest” program to date.
In a blog post, EA explained that extensive beta testing helped it create a new program that was designed to be more streamlined and the best possible place for users to play titles from its library. Using the EA App, you’ll be able to play games while automatic downloads and background updates are performed.

All local and cloud saves from Origin will be transferred to the new app, and if you haven’t received an invite yet, you can download the EA App from this link. It’s worth noting that Mac users can’t access the program just yet, as Origin will remain the primary client on that platform for the foreseeable future.
