- EA and Valve have struck a new partnership to bring EA's best (and worst) games back to Steam.

After rumors started circulating last week, courtesy of some telling file package changes, Electronic Arts (EA) has formally announced a partnership with Valve that will bring Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, The Sims 4, FIFA 20, and other EA titles to Steam.

The publisher isn't merely bringing its catalog back to the digital storefront, but a new subscription service, EA Access, will feature on Steam from Spring 2020 alongside individual titles.
In a press release penned for the occasion, the company says,
'EA Access is the first and only gaming subscription service available on Steam.'
The service is entirely separate and distinct from the publisher's existing subscriptions, notably the Basic and Premier Origin Access tiers. We don't yet know whether any of the features will carry over, nor do we have an idea of pricing.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, The Sims 4, & Other Major Titles
To kick things off, EA is making Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order available on Steam in line with a worldwide release on Nov. 15. Pre-orders are currently available.
Why Is The Sims 4 Not On Steam
- Pools, Ghosts, and Other Free Updates. Tons of free content has been added to The Sims 4 since it launched. Design and build awesome pools, return from the dead as a ghost and scare your neighbors, and climb the corporate ladder to start your career as an Angel Investor or a Business Tycoon!
- Time to start addressing points. Not bothering with quoteblocks because there's a limit per post. 'Why isn't this on Steam?' Because EA has their own distribution service, and because Valve takes a cut of sales made through Steam, as part of providing the service of selling it for the creating company.
From there, EA plans a staggered release of titles on the platform.
'In the coming months, players on Steam will also be able to play other major titles like The Sims 4 and Unravel Two. Multiplayer games—like Apex Legends, FIFA 20, and Battlefield V—will become available next year.'

The staggered release is presumably to stress-test the behind-the-scenes integration of the Origin game launcher into Steam.
On that topic, EA stopped short of describing how this would work. The publisher points out that players on both Steam and Origin can play together in multiplayer games. Such functionality suggests the usage of the same launcher. As such, we imagine downloading and installing the controversial Origin client is a prerequisite for games bought via Steam.

The Steam listing for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order appears to back this up alongside noting the need for an EA Account.
There you have it. You'll soon be able to play the very best and very worst of EA's titles, stifling micro-transactions and all, on Steam.
