    Hey everyone,

    I just wanted to give you an update:

    We've noticed that players on certain browsers were unable to download an install Origin on Big Sur. This issue has been resolved on January 18th and you should be able to download and install Origin again.

    I'll lock this topic as no further reports were posted about this happening and to prevent necroposting.

    Thank you for all the reports and examples <3

@truehomie21  Origin does work just fine in Big Sur.  I'm guessing you're downloading through Chrome?  (Or maybe Opera.)  The problem is that the web page is only reading the minor version of your OS and therefore assessing it as too old for the standard version of Origin; that's why you get pointed to the legacy version.

You can either download Origin through Safari or Firefox, which don't have this issue; or you can use this direct download link:
