- Bulletstorm - Bulletstorm cannot be redeemed in Origin, you will need to contact an agent to have them complete the process.
2. GAMES RELEASED PRIOR TO 2008
If you have an older game title, such as The Sims 2, Spore, or any other titles released before 2008, you may need to redeem the code through this website*: https://activate.ea.com/activategame.do
- Login with your EA account
- Enter the code in the box above.
- Click Sign In to redeem the code.
- It may ask you to link or create a new persona. If the code is still coming up invalid, please contact us and we can assist you further.
Note: You may need to go back to options and click on "Refresh My Games" before the game will show up in Origin. If this does not make the game show in your "My Games" section, please log out and log back in to Origin.
