EA launches a social app for its sports games

EA’s sports games are huge franchises, and soon the company is launching a mobile app to bring even more EA Sports into your life. During an investor presentation today, the company officially announced the EA Sports app, which will launch in Spain this fall for iOS and Android.

In a press release, EA says the app will be a “socially focused app,” with features like a discovery feed to keep up with news and highlights from their favorite teams, interactive challenges you can play during and after live games, and community “arenas.” Soft-launching in Spain, the app will offer “a combination of sports content, live sports data, social news, interactivity, challenges and more around Global Football in collaboration with long-time partner LaLiga,” EA says.

EA also says it plans to add more sports to the app in the future. This is not surprising – it is called the EA Sports App after all – franchises like Madden NFL or EA Sports Football also seem to be likely candidates to be included at some point.

EA CEO Andrew Wilson recently said that sports is one of the areas where the company will double down on its efforts, and the new app appears to be part of that effort.
