EA Origin to become all-digital service next month

EA has announced that its Origin service will cease selling physical games next month.

The company revealed that it is switching to the digital-only business model since just 1% of its customers order boxed products through the platform.

"If you're among 99% of our users, absolutely nothing [will change]. Your shopping experience hasn't changed one single bit," said EA. "But if you're that 1% who still desires a physical collection, we want to let you know that Origin won't be able to fulfill that need.

"We'll still be here when you transition your gaming habits to the wonders of digital downloads. Digital is fast and convenient. Origin's focus is to give gamers the best experience, and going all-digital will make that possible."


Earlier this year, Origin was targeted by hackers, experiencing connectivity issues following a suspected denial-of-service attack.


Origin will no longer offer physical games from April 4.
