Players are strongly encouraged to transition to the EA app before the April 17th deadline. The EA app requires a 64-bit operating system, specifically Windows 10 or 11.
While most game libraries and cloud save data will seamlessly transfer to the EA app, players are advised to manually back up any games that do not support cloud saves. Additionally, mod compatibility may vary, and players are encouraged to consult with mod creators for specific instructions.
The transition to the EA app marks a significant step in streamlining EA’s PC gaming ecosystem and ensuring a smoother and more consistent experience for players.
