Game Servers

EA and Origin servers

Origin is powered by EA, but when servers go down the problems could be felt by either system and certainly players across many games. If you see EA servers are unavailable right now, then this could be in the likes of Battlefield, FIFA 15 and FUT, Madden NFL, and many other titles with different platforms being impacted.

One of the most popular game franchises under EA for consoles is FIFA, especially in Europe and the UK, although franchises like Madden and Battlefield with the new Hardline game also reach thousands of gamers every day.

If you play an EA game and notice server problems, then look below to either see if you’re not alone or leave a EA server status update with the community. You can also reach Ask EA support at Twitter and other online channels, which is thanks to contact details found on this page. Problems and downtime updates can be left below.
