Is Origin Down Right Now?
Origin was Electronic Arts’ PC gaming platform, launched in 2011. It sold and launched EA games like FIFA, Battlefield, and The Sims. EA has now retired Origin and moved everyone to the EA App.
This page tracks the live Origin and EA App status. You can check if logins fail, if game libraries look empty, or if EA’s servers are down. Most “Origin” trouble today is really EA App trouble.
Is Origin Down for Me or Everyone?
Check the report chart above. Spikes mean EA’s servers are down for many players. Low reports mean your app or account is likely the issue. Sign in at ea.com in a browser first to test your credentials, then fix the app.
Is Origin Shut Down?
Yes. EA retired the Origin client for good. The EA App is now the main PC platform. Remaining Origin users were forced to migrate.
Your account, games, and saves carry over. Both use the same EA account. Only the launcher changed, not your library.
Why Can’t I Log In to the EA App?
Error 1 means authentication failed after migration. Check your credentials in a browser. Clear the app’s credential cache. Reset your password if needed.
Error 10005 means the app cannot reach EA’s auth servers. VPNs, proxies, and firewalls block it. Turn them off and retry.
Where Did My Games Go After the Switch?
In almost every case, you logged into the wrong EA account. Libraries follow the account that bought the games. Check old receipt emails to find the right login.
If the account is right and games are still missing, contact EA support. Do not rebuy anything before they check.
Why Is the EA App Showing a Blank Screen?
A blank or glitchy app is usually corrupt local cache, not a server outage. Updates break the app’s display files sometimes.
Run the EAUpdater repair tool. Delete the EA Desktop cache folder. Check that antivirus and firewall are not blocking the app. Reinstall only as a last resort.
Common Origin Problems and Fixes
Login fails with Error 1
Login fails with Error 1: Authentication broke during migration. Verify credentials at ea.com. Clear the credential cache. Reset the password and try again.
Error 10005 connection timeout
Error 10005 connection timeout: The app cannot reach EA’s auth servers. Disable VPNs and proxies. Check firewall rules. Whitelist the app.
Error 5002 server unreachable
Error 5002 server unreachable: EA’s infrastructure is down or in maintenance. Nothing local will fix this. Wait for EA’s servers to recover.
Game library looks empty
Game library looks empty: You are on the wrong EA account. Find the account from purchase receipts. Log out fully and sign into the right one.
EA App broken after update
EA App broken after update: Clear the cache folder and run the EAUpdater repair tool. Delete the EA Desktop folder in local app data if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can’t I log in to the EA App?
Expired sessions, wrong credentials, or errors 1 and 10005 are the causes. Confirm credentials at ea.com, clear cache, kill VPNs. Locked accounts need EA support.
Where did my games go after switching from Origin to the EA App?
Wrong account in almost every case. Match the login to purchase receipts. Support can help if the right account still shows nothing.
Is Origin shut down?
Yes, EA retired it and moved everyone to the EA App. Accounts, games, and saves carry over since both use the same EA account.
Why is the EA App not working or showing a blank screen?
Corrupt cache or blocked network access, not an outage. Repair with EAUpdater, delete the cache folder, check firewall. Reinstall last.
Why do my EA games fail to launch?
Unreachable EA servers, maintenance, or local blocking. Check server status first, then flush DNS and whitelist the app.
Do I have to redownload my games after moving to the EA App?
Usually no. The app finds existing installs and pulls your library automatically. Antivirus may quarantine files during the move, so check there first. Check the Origin status page before reinstalling. An Origin outage on EA’s side needs no action from you.
