EA to bring Origin to Mac, Android next year

Blair McClelland August 15, 2012 Channel, Software & Gaming

EA has today announced at GamesCon that it plans to bring its Origin game store to Macs, Android smartphones, Facebook and even Smart TVs. Electronic Arts has moved away from the Steam platform recently but now intends to follow in its footsteps.

No specific release dates have been announced yet but the Mac version has a tentative release date of February next year. It is entirely possible that the Android and other versions could also launch around this time.

It is unknown how Origin with co-exist with the existing Windows platform but hopefully there will be an equivalent of Steam's Steam Play, which allows gamers to adopt a buy once, play anywhere approach.

KitGuru says: With even the likes of Gabe Newell speaking out against Windows 8, gamer's options are gradually increasing.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
