EA's Origin PC client has officially come to an end. The gaming company previously announced its plans. Origin app for desktop players back in 2020 and started the new EA app will be released in 2022. However, Origin will be shut down completely on April 17, 2025, as Microsoft ends support for 32-bit software. Anyone still using Origin will need to switch to the EA app before that date.
For those PC players who haven't yet switched to the EA app, the company has explanation of the latest system requirements. The EA app runs on 64-bit architecture and requires a computer running Windows 10 or Windows 11. (Although Microsoft does that everyone will upgrade to Windows 11 because it previous OS.)
If you simply download the EA app on your current computer, players won't need to re-download their games. And if you have cloud saving enabled, all your data should be transferred without any additional steps. However, it's always a good idea to have physical backups when making this type of transition, especially since not all games support cloud saving and those games will need to transfer saved game data manually. Mods may also not switch automatically, and EA recommends that players consult with the mod creators about switching within the EA app.
