Almost all EA games are released on Origin, allow players purchase them on the internet for PC and mobile platforms, and download them with the Origin client. As Steam's leading competitor, Origin provides huge collection of games, including some exclusive titles such as Battlefield and Need for Speed. You may find the interesting feature that games on Origin store can be cheaper depending on where you buy them or, even better, where you appear to buy them from. Yes, different Origin Stores give different prices.
I applied some exercise and compared their prices by using a free VPN. Took a look at the games over the USA, Australia and Mexican stores. And find Mexico is Origin cheapest country. When you purchase a game from Origin, it is automatically added to the My Games library. So the Mexico VPN is needed when you buy EA Origin games for cheap. You can then play it on any computer with your own IP.
Game Origin US Origin Australia Origin Mexico
Sims 4 $19.99 $26.66 $11.66
Star Wars Battlefront $35.99 $53.99 $23.99
FIFA 16 $29.99 $44.99 $19.99
Battlefield 4 $9.99 $9.99 $6.49
Origin servers will identify our country from IP address and redirect we to our country's store, so we can't directly access the Mexican store. To circumvent this, we use a Mexico VPN for cheap Origin game. Now go on to the guide.
Step 1 - Simply have a peek at VPN guide if you don't know how to use VPN get Mexico IP.
Step 2 - Choose the item you need at Origin Store. It will lead you to Origin Mexico Store, the URL should look something like: https://www.origin.com/en-mx/store/ with en-mx indicating the Mexico region.
Step 3 - You will see your final price on the checkout page.
Step 4 - Then it requires logging into your account. Disconnect from the VPN, and log in your account to go to the next step.
Step 5 - On the payment page, enter your name, email, phone number, and a valid Mexican address. Google a Mexican address of churches, public libraries or hotel listings in Mexico.
Step 6 - The game should be in your Origin account after making the payment.
Step 7 - Now you can play the game without using Mexico VPN for Origin.
With the clocks close to release of a game at your region, players living in other regions may have managed pick up the game and already playing it. The wait is so frustrating. Then how can I play the game as early as the others? Well, you can engage in some magic internet trickery - that's using a VPN. VPN allows you bypass the regional block to play games early.
Origin and Steam are the popular digital game stores/platforms. They offer a catalog of PC, Mac, and Linux games, and allows using VPN to change time zones. For the world release games, we usually tricky the Steam game that we are in New Zealand. The process simply involves changing one's region in Steam/Origin to New Zealand and get a free New Zealand IP address through VPN settings.
