I bought a game off origin today and it didn't show up in my list of games, nor is it in my purchase history. And yes, it did take my money.

If you cannot find your game then make sure to check the following thread:

You can then reach out to an EA Advisor if you have any further questions:

Hi everyone,

 

If your newly purchased game is not showing up in your games list when you log into your Origin tool, it doesn't mean you haven't purchased the rights to download it. It just means that your order is still processing.

 

  1. Verify that your payment has successfully processed by going to http://origin.com/, logging in and then selecting My Account > Order History

  2. If you are not logged in already, you will be prompted to do so. Once your payment has processed, your items will be visible here.

 NOTE: If you have verified that your purchase has actually gone through and processed, but still aren't able to see your games in Origin, please follow the steps below.

 

  1. Click on the "My Games tab" as shown in the screenshot below. After you have clicked that, you will see a button with an circle arrow on the left hand side (screenshot below). This is the "reload games" button. Click it, and you should now be able to see all the games registered to your account.

  2. Should any be missing, first try clicking on All games, as shown in the screenshot to ensure that "All Games" are selected. Next you can try setting it to "Hidden Games" to make sure that no game has been hidden on accident.
  3. If this does not work, try logging out of Origin, and log back in. This is another way of 'refreshing' the games in your Origin.
  4. Last, but not least, Uninstalling and Reinstalling Origin is the final step you can try doing.
