Just in case this wasn't posted before...
Today I got some good news to share with everyone: We will soon be releasing Origin 8.5, a brand new update chock-full of changes. We’ve been listening a lot to your feedback, and with this release, we’re introducing a couple of really cool and highly-requested features: custom avatars and the ability to hide games, demos, and betas. But that’s not all! Origin 8.5 also extends cloud storage options to a number of new games, including Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and the upcoming Mass Effect 3, letting you play (and save) your games from any Origin-enabled PC.
For the full list of changes, here’s the official rundown of the release notes for Origin 8.5:
• Added the ability to upload custom avatars.
• Added cloud storage support for a number of additional EA games, including Mass Effect 3.
• Added captcha verification for increased security.
• Improved relevancy of friend search results.
• Progress bar now displays when installing games.
• Streamlined Origin update and installation processes.
• Game Add-Ons (DLC) can now be purchased and installed directly through Origin.
• Updated the look and feel of the Origin client.
• Users can now invite multiple friends to play at once.
• Users can now hide games in their Game Library.
As you can see, we’re always working towards improving Origin and hope to make even more improvements in the future. If you have any feedback about what you’d like to see in future releases, let us know – we love to hear from you. Look for the wide release of Origin 8.5 very soon.
