I also came here looking for EA desktop for Mac. But, I see that many of the EA games incl. EA Play is now also available on Steam. albeit Windows only versions. Please add the macOS versions of the games to Steam as well. It would be cool to be able to subscribe to EA Play through Steam, along with all my other macOS games and subscriptions that I have through Steam.
Also, EA Play is available to macOS users, right?
Any news on releasing NFS HEAT for macOS?
DICE TeamThanks for trying the EA Desktop Beta!
Offline play isn't available in the Beta right now, but we're aware of the requests.
"Will EA Desktop be more friendlier to offline gamers than Origin?" is tricky to answer. Yes, Origin supports offline play, and that feature is working as intended. If it sometimes doesn't work for you, then next time you run into issues we'd have to check with you why it isn't working.
What I'll do for now is make a note if we can clarify how offline play works, should the feature be available in EA Desktop.
At this time, EA Play is only available for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
