Before you upgrade your macOS to use the EA app, there are a few things you should do first.

Check which macOS your Mac device is using

Before upgrading, find out which macOS your Mac is currently running.

The EA app is available for all players using macOS Catalina or later. If your Mac device is running a macOS that’s older than Catalina, you’ll need to upgrade it to use the EA app.

Keep in mind that your device’s ability to upgrade to a newer macOS will depend on the model of Mac you own. Before trying to upgrade to the minimum macOS needed for the EA app, check if your Mac device is compatible with the required macOS.

For more details on which Mac devices can use the latest macOS upgrades, check out this Apple Support article.

Backup your Mac

If you need to upgrade your macOS to use the EA app, consider making a backup first. Backing up your Mac device before installing a major upgrade allows you to restore your data and settings if anything goes wrong.

Free up space on your Mac

Make sure you have enough space to download and install the required macOS upgrade. Follow these steps to find out how much storage space is available on your Mac device.

To upgrade your macOS on a compatible Mac device, use Software Update, or install it manually.
