Starting with Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order

After a brief tease earlier, Electronic Arts has now confirmed it will be coming back to Valve's Steam, starting off on November 15th with Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order. Surprisingly, the publisher has also confirmed that EA Access/Origin Access will be coming to Steam next spring.

The partnership between Valve's Steam and EA will kick off on November 15th with the launch of Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order game, which is now also available for pre-order on Steam. This is a big move forward since EA pulled all its games from Steam back in 2011, when EA's Origin service was launched.

Speaking to Gamesindustry.biz, EA's senior VP Mike Blank briefly commented on this move, hitting the mark with its statement that the increased number of gaming services is having a bad effect on the gamers.

"Since the time we removed our games from Steam, there's been this dramatic increase in the number of gaming services, which you would think would be really good for players. But I think in many cases, it's the exact opposite. It creates more difficulty for players, and providing player choice -- from my perspective and speaking on behalf of EA -- is really critical. It's an opportunity to make it possible for people to play where they want, to reduce that fragmentation and make it more frictionless... Reducing that fragmentation is really important. It's the most player-first thing we can do."
