EA has launched a closed beta of the upcoming redesign of Origin for PC and Mac. Once released, this new version promises to be faster and better-suited to online play.
From Electronic Arts’ announcement:
Origin Players,
Origin Beta is now live! Jump in and explore the app, browse the library, quick-launch your recently played games, and easily organize play sessions with friends all from one hub. We hope you’ll start to experience a faster, smarter, more connected app.
Note: As with any beta, it’s a work-in-progress, so if you don’t see one of your games in Origin Beta, look for it in the coming months as we continue to add more games and DLC.
Of course, your feedback is really important. We’ll be making improvements along the way so we hope you’ll share the good, the bad, and the glitchy so we can build a PC gaming platform that you’ll love.
