EA releases classic PC titles on Steam, including Populous and Command & Conquer
Publisher EA has announced a raft of classic PC titles are now available for the first time on Steam, including some big names.

A lot of the games have been available elsewhere, like The Saboteur on GOG, and of course EA’s own launcher and store has them, but most of these are brand new to Steam.
Here’s the full list of games, which EA says includes the most up to date patches, as well:
- Command & Conquer – The Ultimate Collection (50% off)
- Sim City 3000 Unlimited (60% off)
- Populous (60% off)

So there you have it, some genuine classics on Steam for a good price. Some of these will likely appeal to Steam Deck owners, and although it’s a busy period, if you’re in the mood for some classics, that’s not a bad list at all. EA says “Whether it’s city planning in SimCity 3000 Unlimited, dungeon planning in Dungeon Keeper 2, tactical planning in Command & Conquer or planning your next attack in The Saboteur, the re-release of these beloved games from EA’s archives on Steam have every player covered”.
