Hello, everyone. The EA App now requires a 64 bit PC running Windows 10 or 11. MacOS running Catalina or newer is also supported.
Community ManagerAs of December 22, 2025, the EA app is no longer supported on Windows 7 or Windows 8.
We first shared this update in September 2025 and contacted affected players in advance to ensure plenty of notice before support ended.
What this means:
This change allows us to focus on improving performance, security, and overall experience on supported platforms, in line with broader industry standards.
If you’re still using Windows 7 or 8, we recommend upgrading your system to ensure continued access to your games and services.
Thanks for your understanding.
Hello,
I understand that Windows 7 and Windows 8 are no longer officially supported. However, I would like to suggest a possible compromise.
Would it be possible to make the last EA App version that supported these operating systems available as an offline-only launcher? In this mode, the app could run without internet connectivity and simply allow users to launch already installed single-player games like Sims. Online services such as updates, the store, multiplayer features, and account services could remain disabled.
This approach could preserve access to previously purchased games for users on older systems while avoiding security risks or maintenance costs related to online services.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
