Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) today launched Origin™ for the Mac®, a
new built-for-platform version of EA’s direct download application for
Mac users worldwide. Just as it has for tens of millions of PC users,
Origin for Mac will offer fast and safe game downloads for many of the
industry’s most popular titles from EA and publishing partners. Origin
for Mac is ready for download today at www.origin.com/download.
Origin for Mac delivers many of the same Origin features that have
defined the experience for PC users, including cloud storage to save and
continue games, social connectivity via friends lists, and more.
But Origin for Mac will offer additional value to gamers who play on
both PC and Mac devices: dual-platform play for select EA titles. With
dual-platform play, gamers will buy a game once and be able to download
it for both PC and Mac (if the game is available for both platforms).
After purchasing the game via Origin on one platform, as soon as a
player logs into their other device, the game will appear ready for
download in the Origin “My Games” tab.
“Our vision with Origin is to connect your gaming universe online, and
today we’re taking a major step in expanding our service to reach
Mac-based gamers worldwide,” said Michael Blank, Vice President of
Production for Origin at EA. “In delivering great game content,
connecting the Origin service across PC, Mac and iOS devices, and
offering great value to gamers with dual-platform play on select EA
titles, Origin is making it easier than ever before for gamers to
connect and play anytime, anywhere.”
Origin for Mac launches with a catalogue of hit titles from EA and
publishing partners available for immediate purchase and download,
including Dragon Age™ 2, Batman: Arkham City, LEGO Harry Potter
and The Sims™ 3. In a special launch offer and to celebrate more
than a decade of The Sims, players can enjoy huge savings across The
Sims 3 franchise on Origin. The Sims anniversary sale gives
players a chance to download The Sims 3 base game, plus numerous
expansion and stuff packs via the new Origin for Mac application for as
little as $10. These ‘simtastic’ savings on Origin are available for a
limited time, so players should act fast.
For the best experience, Origin for Mac users should be running OS X
10.6.8 or newer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor or better.
Today, Origin has nearly 40 million users across PC and iOS platforms.
Origin for PC offers more than 500 titles from EA and publishing
partners around the globe, and is designed to offer a more dynamic and
convenient play experience for the gamer. Origin for iOS devices is
integrated into more than 50 EA games, offering single ID sign-on across
multiple games, cloud saves, friends lists and achievement sharing. For
