Re: EA app Error "An update is required to launch this game..."

Hi everyone,

Thank you for bringing up the issue you're experiencing with the EA app for PC and Mac displaying the message, "An update is required to launch this game...".

This usually means that either your EA app is outdated, or there is a game update that needs to be installed before you can launch the game again. This is particularly common for The Sims 4. For more information, please click HERE. However, we have shared these reports with our teams, and the issue is currently under investigation.

To assist our teams in properly investigating the issue, please share the following details with us:

  • Which game(s) are you experiencing this issue with?

  • If Windows, what Windows version are you using?

  • If Mac, what macOS version are you using?

  • What version of the EA app have you installed? You can check it HERE.

  • Share your EA app Error Reporter ID in the thread using the steps HERE.

  • Collect and attach logs of the EA app to your post using the steps HERE.

Thank you.
