Finally, Electronic Arts has given into the woes of its PC fans by bringing their games to Steam. Previously, most of their games were only available through the Origin store. In a shocking move, they brought more than twenty-five games to the Steam store, with more on the way.
For those new to Electronic Arts' games, the Steam store can be a little confusing. Electronic Arts has amassed a sizeable catalog of games for players to relish. Electronic Arts plus Steam means wider availability and more connectivity for players. Here are the ten best Electronic Arts games to play on Steam, ranked.
10 Battlefield V
If you're looking for the latest that the Battlefield series has to offer, Battlefield V is an excellent choice. If your PC can handle this game's demanding requirements, you might be able to use the latest technology like ray tracing. Battlefield V was the first game to make use of Nvidia's ray tracing support. You'll see the light, well, in a whole new light. Light rays will appear as they do in real life.
Be sure to checkout Battlefield V: Firestorm, a battle royale mode free to all owners of the game. Battlefield V is now available on Steam.
9 Need for Speed Heat
After the bold and ambitious release of Need for Speed (2015), it was clear that a few kinks need to be worked out. The next release, Need for Speed Payback, was a step in the wrong direction. Need for Speed Heat, however, is one of the best Need for Speed entries in years.
Need For Speed Heat might contain the most exhilarating cop chases seen in the series thus far. Customization through a livery editor is intuitive and awesome. Electronic Arts proves they are still a major player on the racing scene with Need For Speed Heat.
8 Command & Conquer Remastered Collection
Command & Conquer and Command & Conquer: Red Alert are both remastered in gorgeous 4K as part of this collection. Command & Conquer is part of a real-time strategy series that released in 1995.
Now that the game has been resurrected and remastered, there is little reason not to jump into the action. Tactical warfare in the first Command & Conquer is still enjoyable to this day. This collection contains all the expansions and an updated UI.
7 Burnout Paradise Remastered
Crashing in racing games is a fundamental part, whether you like it or not. Burnout Paradise took crashing to a whole new level by making them more dramatic than ever before.
Now that Burnout Paradise is one of the latest games to join the remaster club, there is little reason not to purchase this game on the Steam store. Burnout Paradise is well-known for its intense crashes.
6 Star Wars Battlefront II
Since the polarizing release of Star Wars Battlefront II, Electronic Arts has done an enormous turnaround. Initially, the game was dependant on microtransactions with a pay-to-play formula.
After outrage from the community, a series of updates have drastically improved this game. Star Wars Battlefront II is one of the best online games to play right now, and it's available on Steam.
5 Mass Effect
The first Mass Effect game in the series accomplished precisely what it set out to do. While some series starters falter because of undeveloped gameplay, Mass Effect is a polished game from start to finish. There is tremendous replay value for this game.
Mass Effect is a role-playing game set in outer space in the Milky Way galaxy. As protagonist Commander Shepard, you must prevent the Reapers from carrying out their treacherous plans to wipe out the galaxy of sentient life.
4 Crysis
When Crysis released, it was one of the most beautiful games available for purchase. Its advanced technology is one of the reasons why we love it so much.
As a game released in 2007, we are earnestly surprised at how demanding this game is. PCs today are still struggling to run the game at 60 frames per second. Crysis is now available on Steam at a bargain price.
3 Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Sometimes everything goes well during development, and we receive a game that works for so many reasons. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is one of the best games to come from EA.
It's smart level design combined with destructible environments make the game stand out. Future first-person shooters should look to Battlefield: Bad Company 2 as a beacon for what to do right. This game's single-player and online multiplayer are both exceptional.
2 Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is full of surprises, which is why it's one of the best EA games to play on Steam. With gameplay reminiscent of Dark Souls, you fight adept bosses from the Empire, as well as other colossal enemies. As a game that's not afraid to reinvent the genre, it's no wonder why it's one of Steam's hottest games.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order feels very much like a spiritual successor to the Jedi Knight series. It follows a protagonist who learns the way of a Jedi during his path to fight the darkness.
1 Mass Effect 2
There isn't an EA game on Steam that holds a candle to Mass Effect 2. It contains an inviting, invigorating story lead by talented voice actors who added so much to the game. The gameplay is phenomenal, and it still holds up today.
Once again, players return as Commander Shepard in this role-playing game. This story from science-fiction is captivating, to say the least. Hands down, Mass Effect 2 is the best EA game to play on Steam.
