In mid-April, Electronic Arts will finally shut down the Origin digital distribution platform. The transition to the new EA App has been underway for years. The reason for the termination is the end of Microsoft's support for 32-bit software.
In 2011, Electronic Arts launched its own digital distribution platform for PC games, Origin, as an alternative to Steam. Later, 3rd-party titles were also distributed on it. However, Origin will be shut down on 17 April 2025 because Microsoft has stopped supporting 32-bit software. All Origin users will have to switch to the new EA app.
