Update: now it will randomly tell me that it has an update and I need to ‘visit the hub’ for my update. 

There is no update.

This is a known issue. There is an active thread in the bug report forum: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/EA-app-Error-quot-An-update-is-required-to-launch-this-game-quot/td-p/13817377

@simply-kaze One thing that worked for some players is to change the date in Windows to a year ago (or possibly longer). There's no guarantee this works, however.

Edit: You can also force an EA app update by locating the file EA app Updater and running it. You can use the search in Windows to find it. More info: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Information-Guides-and/INFO-GUIDE-Troubleshooting-the-EA-app/m-p/13042856

@dynosian @Fred_vdp @BEDIBOUDI Hey how did you force an EA app update? I'm in the same boat and I don't know what to do. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and the updater says its already up to date.. I haven't been able to launch the game since I bought it. Idk what to do :/
