- EA and Valve have struck a new partnership to bring EA's best (and worst) games back to Steam.
- Consequently, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will be available on Steam at launch, with titles like The Sims 4 and FIFA 20 migrating in the future.
- Unfortunately, EA is involved, so there's a ridiculously large catch.
- As some of you may know, EA and Valve have recently agreed to a partnership and some EA games will be coming to Steam once again, and one of these is the Sims 4. There is no set release date on it (Jedi Fallen Order is actually going to be coming first).

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.
EA Access Subscription Leads The Charge

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.
EA promises access to what it calls The Vault – essentially, curated access to EA's back-catalog. Alongside is 'a medley of awards' including discounts on non-Vault games and in-game rewards for EA's biggest releases.
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.
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.

The Sims 4's latest expansion has been revealed to be called Snowy Escape and, as you would expect, is a whole new portion of the game dedicated to winter and cold weather. This is a sizable addition to the base game, bringing in many brand-new features, items, and more. Be sure to read on for new details on the world included with Snowy Escape and the release date so you can get your hands on it.
Snowy Escape's release date
The Sims 4's Snowy Escape expansion will be releasing November 13, 2020, for PC (EA Origin and Steam), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One for $39.99. If you have EA Play, the game will be slightly discounted to $35.99.
For a quick look at the snow activities and other new items on the way, check out the below trailer.
Snowy Escape's new world
© Provided by GamePurThe new world coming in the Snowy Escape is called Mount Komorebi and is heavily inspired by Japanese culture. Included in the new world are three neighborhoods that will bring a host of brand-new things to see. Here is a rundown of what to expect at each location.
Senbamachi
© Provided by GamePurSenbamachi is the longest standing neighborhood in Snowy Escape. The surrounding environment is beautiful, with many cherry blossom trees and bamboo forests sprinkled throughout. The area is very in tune with nature and traditional Japanese culture. There are three lots for sale here, with each building heavily showing the cultural impacts in their design.
There is quite a lot to do outside of the house in Senbamachi, though. The Izakaya Ippai bar and Hanamigawa Koen park are two trendy meetup spots for Sims in the area. If you are more interested in the supernatural, though, take a hike to the graveyard and honor the dead during the Festival of the Lights and come into contact with spirits or stop by the Mountain Temple. Those looking for adventure are accommodated here as well with trips through bamboo forests or rock climbing.

Wakaba is a newer area in the Mount Komorebi area growing in popularity because of the community activities. There are four lots available, three for sale and one for rent. The buildings here are all of a modern design. Being the furthest neighborhood away from the mountain, there is no snow in this area.

The Festival of Youth is held in Wakaba, which allows kids to go on void critter hunts with the mascot of Snowy Escape and the most significant social spot is the Hazakura Lounge.
Yukimatsu
© Provided by GamePurYukimatsu is the final neighborhood and has all of your winter needs on full display. The entire area is continuously covered in a blanket of snow at the base of Mount Komorebi and holds the Festival of Snow, which offers games to play and sculptures to look at. Here there are only two lots available, both for rent. These buildings are closer in style to the ones seen in Senbamachi but more in line with vacation houses.
This entire area can be attributed to a gigantic ski lodge. If you visit the Sutefani Onsen bathhouse, you will indeed be rejuvenated and relaxed. The sims expansion packs. Still, in contrast, you can have an adventure on a hiking trail, find some caves, or ride a gondola up the mountain for some skiing or snowboarding down the snow slopes.
