Fifa 20 and Apex Legends are down. Since 9:00 a.m. on April 14, Electronic Arts' servers are down and won't allow access to any video games available on Origin. The biggest problems are for Fifa 20, Apex Legends and Battlefield, the most important titles of the American publisher. Fifa 20 players can't even access Fifa Ultimate Teame on the companion app: everything is completely blocked.
It's been almost 12 hours now that Fifa 20 isn't working and many users are looking for answers on various forums and social networks in the hope of finding a solution. The servers are inaccessible and as soon as you try to log in, an error message is displayed on the screen. Electronic Arts technicians are working to resolve the situation and the hope is that within a few hours everything will return to normal. Fifa 20 and Apex Legends have been down for more than six hours now.
Why can't you play Fifa 20 today
We don't know at the moment what is causing such serious problems with Fifa 20, Apex Legends and all the games on Origin. The certainty is that the Electronic Arts servers are unreachable.
The situation around 12:00 seemed to be back to normal, but from 13:00 onwards have returned to increase the reports from users. At 16:00 the servers were back online, but only for a few minutes. In fact, since 16:30 the reports on downdetector.it are back to increase, as you can see from the graph on the site.
Most likely the stress that have been subjected to the servers of Electronic Arts in this period may be one of the factors that led Fifa 20 to be down. We will continue to follow the situation and keep you updated.
