Electronic Arts Launches 25+ Games on Steam Starting Today
EA Access Subscription Service Arrives for Steam Players Later this Summer
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) launched the first wave of 25+ EA games on Steam, with more on the way. Starting today, players can explore BioWare™’s award-winning Role-Playing Games - Dragon Age™: Inquisition and Dragon Age II, experience high-speed, white-knuckle driving action in Need for Speed™ Heat, Need for Speed: Rivals and Need for Speed (2016) and battle it out in the wacky, fun and over-the-top shooter, Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville™. A selection of the bold and innovative games from EA’s indie development partners like Unravel, Unravel II, Fe and Sea of Solitude will also become available. Additionally, these games and many others will be available as part of an EA Access subscription on Steam that will launch to players later this summer.
“We want to make it easy to play the games you love, wherever you want to play. Delivering games to the Steam community is an important step in achieving this goal,” said Mike Blank, SVP, Strategic Growth. “Not only are we excited to have our games on Steam, but we look forward to bringing them even more value when our subscription becomes available in the Summer.”
New EA games developed for PC will also launch on Steam alongside other platforms, including the Command & Conquer™ Remastered Collection which launches tomorrow, providing mod support with the Steam Workshop as this game is one of the first major RTS franchises to open source their source code under the GPL. The compilation, which was made for and with the help of the community, is comprised of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn, Command & Conquer: Red Alert and their three expansion packs - Covert Ops, Counterstrike and The Aftermath.

I hope that Dragon Age 2 comes with all the DLC. Engorges my autism glands when they don't sell a complete package years after the fact, like as far as I'm aware Mass Effect 2 and 3 don't have a complete bundle even though EA's got a Mass Effect trilogy pack on Origin. And yet Inquisition inexplicably has a complete edition so I actually bought it. For $5 during a sale, but I bought it regardless.
Yes, if we're lucky the Steam releases will be EA's excuse to finally bundle and discount those ridiculously priced BioWare DLCs in a Complete Edition for each game. (inb4 they release them separately like it was still 2011)
I wonder if MassErectEffect 3 will be added as well all that DLC that was put behind BioWare Social Club.
Guess I'll wait until they cave and put them on GOG.
The original version of Dragon Age II didn't have Origin integration and that's probably true for most of these other games as well.
I think both of them were separately confirmed as having rootkits at one point or another. If not actual rootkits, then just hiding stuff deep inside your Windows folder that uninstalling doesn't remove. Oh, and watching your browser history.A dumb question probably, but do origin and uplay go away if you uninstall the games that require them, or do you have to uninstall them separately? Is it possible to have origin or uplay on your PC and not know it?
Perhaps one day we'll see a 'EA returns to GOG' thread and can tell the middleman to go Fuck himself.
Big parade of EA coming back to Steam, but they all work through Origin anyway so all you're doing is adding another DRM and client on top of DRM and client. You could have been launching Origin games through Steam this whole time, it's silly. Still, I'm sure achievement nuts are happy.
Why are people unironically talking about buying DA2? It's one of the worst games I've ever played. Like, go take a nailgun and shoot nails into your leg or something, it's probably more fun.
