Origin is a digital game distribution service exclusive to EA. If you are a fan of series like Need for Speed, The Sims, Dead Space and Battlefield, you will love to know that you can now buy all these games straight from the internet and spending much less.
In addition to gathering friends for a game, you download the game demo for free and stay on top of the latest news about Electronic Arts games.
Digital distribution
When you buy a game, do you make a point of taking home your packaging, no matter how much it costs, or value a quality game and the lowest possible price? If you got the second answer, you already know or will love to know the digital distribution of games, as well as Steam and Games on demand from Microsoft.
In addition to eliminating the cost of printing inserts and physical media, buying through a digital distribution system eliminates product logistics. Not only does this make you pay even less for games, but it also reduces waiting times, as titles can be downloaded as early as their release date.
How it works?
In general, Origin is extremely similar to Steam. As can be deduced, all titles distributed are from Electronic Arts and all content is translated into Portuguese. Another advantage is that all prices are already adjusted to the local (real) currency.
In addition to the highlights section, the titles are divided into various genres such as MMO, action, shooting, sports, racing and strategy. The player finds everything from classics released a few years ago to games that haven't even hit the shelves yet. Some of them have demo versions that can be downloaded for free so that you can get to know the game more thoroughly before taking it home.
Community
Origin is not only a place for you to buy your games, but also a community for you and your friends to play together. He brings a communicator with instant chat that extends into the games.
To access Origin you can use your EA Games games account or create an exclusive registration for the service. You can import contacts from Xbox LIVE, Playstation Network or Facebook.
