Electronic Arts is re-releasing 25 classic PC games on Steam, with some also available on GOG, including titles from the Ultima, Wing Commander, Road Rash, and Theme Hospital franchises. The lineup features seven “Anniversary Editions” for six Wing Commander games and a Road Rash Anniversary Edition, alongside other re-releases such as every Ultima RPG, the Crusader games, Strike Commander, and Theme Hospital.
According to EA, the Anniversary Editions aim to preserve the original look, feel, and creative intent, while adding quality-of-life improvements for modern systems. These updates are described as supporting current controls and systems and improving performance. Coverage across outlets broadly agrees on the scale of the rollout and the franchises included, though some reports focus more on the platform availability and the “restored” framing than on the specific modernization details.
Pricing varies by edition: the re-releases are reported as $4.99 each, while the quality-of-life-updated Anniversary Editions are $9.99 each. One outlet also characterizes the announcement as “surprising,” while others frame it as part of an EA classics release on PC.
