EA should update their Beta version to enable offline play! It is available through Origin. It would be a major mistake if EA fails to include it in their own launcher!
In my case, this one item alone would be enough for me not to use EA over Origin!

I'm a game pass ultimate user and I'm forced to use this beta app, the games I play have an offline mode which i can't even utilise because of this app, sometimes I cant even play when I dont have a connection, April 2022 and we're still stuck with this ancient problem.
EA has to just cancel this failling beta and let us use origin or simply give us an offline mode.
We shouldnt be forced to use an experimental app its messing with our gameplay

@tyl0413 ,I second that, my EA play subscribtion is linked to the Xbox app I should just be able to launch it there where my account details are verified once monthly not every single session.

Still no offline mode after 2 years? They gotta be kidding.

Both origin and the ea (cr)app are freezing my pc when I start my game or while accessing certain online features. At least origin has a play offline but the next generation does not even though it partially necessary to have it. I just dont see any rational reason why they dont implement this.

So now EA Desktop is almost imminent on a full release and origin is closing down, are we any closer to having an offline mode? Or at least an option to launch games without updating them.

What a shame! Can we go back to physical media please - no online only modes/ mandatory updates etc!
I will be fuming if they force us onto EA app without an offline mode!
New name, new look, same great benefits: EA Access and Origin Access are now EA Play.
