Company Electronic Arts expanded the functionality of the Origin digital game distribution network with the ability to give games to your friends. The new feature, similar to the same feature on Steam, will allow players to purchase games and give them to other users as a gift.

As the site has learned, in addition to the games themselves, Origin users will be able to donate add-ons, pre-orders, and even virtual currency. The new functionality was introduced just before Black Friday, when mass sales traditionally start. In other words, EA network users will have the opportunity to buy games at discounts not only for themselves, but also for their friends and family.

To purchase a game as a gift, you need to select the “Buy as a gift” option. You can then select friends from the list that appears. Apparently, unlike Steam, you won't be able to send a gift via email. You can purchase a game as a gift only by paying for the game using plastic card or electronic currency PayPal.

The Black Friday sale is currently live on Origin. EA offered discounts on their games up to 75%. According to the site, the list of discounted products includes shooters Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2, as well as The Sims 4, Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst, Need for Speed and a list of other games from the publisher.

This is your chance to try Origin Access Premier without spending a single penny. Enjoy all the benefits of a subscription for free: unlimited access to amazing games, 10% discount and more. After the first week, you can continue your subscription for RUB 999.00 per month or RUB 3,999.00 per year. Cancel your subscription at any time during the trial period and you will not be charged.
