About EA app
The EA app is Electronic Arts' desktop client for Windows. It is used to install and play EA games on PC, manage updates, view your library and connect with friends. EA describes it as a place to play PC games and connect with friends in one place.
The app also provides access to EA Play and other subscription offerings where available, and it replaced the earlier Origin client. Game purchases, add-ons and subscriptions are handled through your EA account.
The EA app suits players of EA titles on PC who need a launcher to install and update them. It can also link other game libraries on some setups, though availability varies.
The app is free to install and an EA account is required. Individual games and subscriptions are paid, while some titles are free to play. The official download listed here is for Windows only. If you only play one or two EA games, it may be worth checking whether a game is also sold through another store, although many EA titles still require this client to launch.
Install it only for games that require it, and check your EA account settings for subscriptions before signing up.
