Origin is an online gaming, digital distribution and digital rights management platform created by Electronic Arts that allows users to purchase games for PC and mobile platforms. The Origin Store allows users to browse and purchase full-price games from EA’s catalogs. Instead of receiving a box, disc or CD key, purchased software is immediately linked to the user’s Origin account and can be downloaded through the corresponding Origin client.

Information needed to create an EA account:
