In 2024, 2K began shutting down its bad PC launcher that made playing the publisher’s game cumbersome if you bought them on Steam. Also in 2024, EA updated It Takes Two and removed the need to use its very confusing launcher to play the game on Valve’s storefront.

Even better, when Dragon Age: The Veilguard arrived in October on Steam, you didn’t need to touch EA’s launcher at all. This is all good news and hopefully this trend of publishers ditching bad PC game launchers continues into 2025.
