Linux Support
It would be really nice if the EA App officially supported Linux as Linux gaming is getting more popular. I would also love to play EA games easily on Linux. Thank you!

With the massive success of the Steam Deck and Valve's recent announcement of the new Steam Machine (a living room gaming PC set for release in early 2026), the SteamOS ecosystem is expanding rapidly. Additionally, third-party devices like the Lenovo Legion Go are now shipping with SteamOS as the default operating system, bringing Linux based gaming to even more users.
To best support players who own EA titles through the EA store, I strongly recommend developing a native EA app for SteamOS. This could include built in integration with Proton/WINE for Windows based EA games on Linux.
A native solution would provide a much smoother and more reliable experience compared to current workarounds, encouraging more cross platform play and helping retain EA library owners as they transition to SteamOS devices. It would also future proof EA platform ahead of broader SteamOS adoption on handhelds, consoles, and PCs.
This is a fantastic idea! I plan on moving to SteamOS sometime in the future myself, and it would be very lovely to have my library from the EA App to be on SteamOS too!
