What it does
The EA app installs and manages EA games on supported Windows and Mac systems. It also provides friends-list connections and game discovery.
Check the operating-system requirements, then use the EA Account associated with your games. Account setup asks for country of residence and date of birth; parents or guardians set up child or teen accounts. An EA purchase through Steam or Epic can still require the EA app.
The launcher does not establish access to every EA game in every country. EA lists locations where all or some games may be unavailable, including Belarus, Russia, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria and specified Ukrainian regions. Check the game’s local offer alongside your account and platform links.
