Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Receives a Steam Page
- Thread starter TradedHats
- Start date
The reason Ubisoft pulled their games from Steam is specifically because Epic paid them a lot of money to remove their games from Steam.
I imagine that Ubisoft will be back on Steam if/when Epic stops offering large sums of money to them.
That's good to hear. Thanks.
Wario 64 tweet is interesting because it suggests some games may not require origin??
Specifically says cross play between steam and origin players.

He's/You are wrong. Fallen Order's store page mentions that Origin needs to run in the brackground.
It's wario using bad wording. The actual text of the statement does not say cross play. They just say playing together. As in, you're gonna need Origin to play the Steam versions.
The store page for Fallen Order says that Origin is required. But then again, the EA press release mentions that "players on both Origin and Steam will have the ability to play together" in games like Apex Legends, which sort of implies that they won't require Origin? I don't know, it's sort of confusing. I guess some games will require Origin and others won't.
EDIT: Or they do still need Origin, and EA's wording is just poor.
EA Access coming to Steam is very interesting indeed.
I doubt Game Pass will come to Steam because in many ways Game Pass and the Xbox app is something of a Trojan horse to get people in to the MS/Xbox ecosystem. Would be nice if it did though IMO.
But it's strange, at a time where other publishers are focusing more on their own launchers (and EGS), that the original defector actually comes back to Steam in full swing.
EDIT: Hang on, "EA Access" is coming to Steam and not Origin Access? So I assume it'll just be EA's own games and not the third party stuff like on XBO/PS4.

So uh... Origin Access Basic is better value than this EA Access due to the number of games and the fact that Origin Access INCLUDES THIRD PARTY GAMES, right?
Thanks, but can we talk about regional prices? Because right now there is basically no regional prices for Fallen Order:
For example, here is the prices for Gears 5:
I want to support you and buy your games, but paying 60$ for a game when average salaries in my country is 300$ is insane, I just can't do this. Can you please look at this issue?
Damn. Kinda want to cancel my discounted CD Keys order for Origin and just pay full price here lol. I won't tho.
Might that possibly include the Mirror's Edge Pure Time Trials DLC that never originally got a release on Steam?
1. Steam versions of EA games will launch Origin to run the games?
2. Can we ask for Steam keys of the game we already bought on Origin?
Thank you!
South Park: The Fractured But Whole too. In fact, I'm pretty sure the Steam Page didn't list it as having Steam achievements until just before (or perhaps even the day of) released.
They've said that for Apex Legends it will not require Origin.
I wonder if the only reason Jedi: Fallen Order does is because they are operating on a short schedule, the game is out quite soon. They's said that they're aiming to get Steam achievements in, but it will be a post-launch update, so maybe they're remove the origin requirement down the line, but it's too deeply integrated right now to just rip it out on such short notice.
