I noticed the EA Desktop app still doesnt have an FPS counter setting like Origin, any plans on adding it to EA app soon?
Hey @SilentReaprr Thanks for taking a moment to share your feedback about the new EA App, we are still working on the client so I would be happy to pass this feedback along to the team.
For future updates on the EA app's functionality stay tuned to our news page, here.

This is awful. I've been playing APEX for 3 years now and you're telling me you've release a new app that doesn't even have the same functionality as the old app???? Please provide me with the original Origin app so I can use the features required. Advanced launch options - fps counter.
[EDIT] APEX uses the Source engine, rendering this post irrelevant.
PerfOverlay.DrawFPS 1
firstly, i do not know if that command works in APEX. secondly, you would have to open the console and type that in each time you play the game.
This is why I use steam for Apex. EA App is trash
I feel you, it is absolutely unbelievable that they removed several features in the EA app which Origin had (and Origin wasn't the best launcher to begin with, so that's really saying something)
That said though, Apex Legends has a built in FPS counter. Go to Settings -> Gameplay and scroll down, enable "Performance Display". It will show you FPS and also your current Ping, among other stats. This is also better perfomance-wise, because the Origin-FPS counter was an overlay, which used resources, the native apex fps counter does not.
why I installed that EA App. It uninstalled Origin, with it everything was fine.
(cm edit - removed language)
here we are, a few months later.
Origin has officially stopped and we have all been forced on to the new EA app..
We have been forced on to an app that still does not have an FPS counter, it's such a simple thing that we would like!
EA must have spent millions on replacing origin (which was fine actually) why not ask a software engineer to spend an hour or so to get the fps monitor up?
The more the years go by, the more EA dissapoint in so many ways!
This my only major annoyance with the EA app. It should have been included in even the first Beta. But still not. Many of us need that for tunning our GPU/Nvidia CP/ AMD / and more.
It is also good to just have it there. It's such a basic thing. Was it an oversite? I doubt that, but cannot think of any other reason.
If I could go back to Origin I would, mostly due to this baffling lack of such a basic standard feature. I fully expect this to be added very quickly. Currently these missing features means the EA APP is still in Beta, but as mentioned it is so fundamental it would probably be in a Beta anyway.
Currently the EA APP is a step down from Origin. I don't understand this kind of business practice.
I have other small issues with EA APP but they are not worth mentioning as they are not problematic.
Summary: EA APP is a Down grade to Origin desktop app. It's inferior and judging by the posts here many others think so too.
Please add the FPS counter. Can't believe gamers including myself are asking EA to add a basic feature of any game client. This kind of basic expected thing, missing, and STILL not added, Is not going to help sales. The opposite of course. Just baffling FPS counter is missing.
while in game hit the "`" key (that's the tilde key, under "Esc" key);
a console will show;
write "PerfOverlay.drawfps 1";
if it is correct you will get "Win32 result:true", and the fps counter will show in the corner of your screen (for me it is in upper right)
(I attached a picture from ME Andromeda, it works also in other games)
game on, have fun 🙂
