Available at Launch
Today, Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) and Valve announced a
partnership to put EA games into the hands of players on Steam. EA
Access will launch on Steam next spring, giving players another
place to subscribe to a great collection of EA games and member
benefits on PC. The first new EA game launching on Steam will
arrive on November 15, when the eagerly anticipated title, Star
Wars Jedi: Fallen Order™, debuts worldwide. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen
Order is available to pre-order on Steam beginning today.
“This is the start of an exciting partnership with Valve that
will see us innovating for PC players around the world,” said
Andrew Wilson, CEO of Electronic Arts. “Through our subscription,
great games and more, we’re excited to bring players in the Steam
and Origin communities together with access to the best games,
whenever and wherever they want to play.”
“This is a good day for gamers,” said Valve’s Gabe Newell.
“We’re excited to partner with EA to not only bring their great
games and subscription service to Steam, but also to open up our
communities to each other in an unprecedented way that will benefit
players and developers around the world.”
EA Access will give subscribers access to a broad portfolio of
EA games, valuable member benefits and discounts on full game
purchases, expansions, in-game items and more. EA has been offering
subscription services since 2014, and currently reaches players on
the Xbox One, PlayStation®4 and Origin™ platforms.
