Electronic Artsannounced that
starting today, users will be able to download and test an early alpha build of
their popular Origin gaming software for Mac. According to a post on the Origin
blog, only a few thousand players in North America and the United Kingdom will
be able to download the app at this stage.
Mac
gamers rejoice: Origin for Mac will be launching soon, and starting today we’re
offering you the opportunity to take it for a spin before the official
release.This open alpha will only be available to a few thousand users in North
America and the United Kingdom, so don’t wait—download your copy of our new Mac
client (alpha build) today.
EA is
giving each alpha tester a free copy the PopCap game Bookworm. Since the
store is not currently functional in the Mac version, new games will not be
able to downloaded at this time. Before we start seeing Mass Effect
and Dead Space running natively on your Mac, EA development teams
will have to specifically build Mac version of each game in order for them to
work on OS X, and the decision to do so (or not) will be left to the discretion
of each individual game’s developers.
Most
other Origin features, such as the in-game overlay, chat, and cloud saves will
be fully functional in the alpha from day one. The alpha requires OS X
10.6.8 or higher, and can be downloaded from the Origin website. Once the website launches click demos,then you will be able to download Origin alpha version for Mac. [9to5Mac]
