EA also announced today that certain company-published titles will support dual-platform play. These include The Sims 3 and Dragon Age II, with more to be added later.

Gamers can buy a title once through Origin and can play it on either Mac or PC. A similar offering is available on Origin competitor Steam.

The Mac game library includes titles from EA and its publishing partners like Warner Bros. and Sega. Games available at launch today include Dragon Age II, Batman: Arkham City, Lego: Harry Potter, and The Sims 3, among others.

Origin currently has 39 million members, compared to Steam's 50 million.
