Troubleshoot missing in-game currency, items, and other rewards

If you’re missing all your items, your EA Account might have been hacked. Find out how to re-secure your account. 
If you’re missing something in-game, try these steps first.
  • Restart your system 

    Restarting your system can help missing content load. Once you’ve restarted your game, check to see if your content has loaded. 
  • Check which EA Account you’re logged into

    If you’ve got more than one EA Account, you might be logged into the wrong one. Go to the Account Information section of your account settings to check which EA Account you’re using. 

    If your content has been sent to the wrong EA Account, we can’t transfer it. 
  • Check for server status issues 

    If your game or platform’s servers are down, your content might not come through until issues are fixed. 
    Check our server status page and see if we’ve mentioned any problems on @EAHelp.
  • Check in-game

    Make sure you didn’t accidentally discard or use your content somewhere in your game. We can’t help with items you’ve used or discarded.

    • Microsoft for Xbox
    • Nintendo for Nintendo Switch™
    • Sony for PlayStation®
    • Steam for PC

      If the transaction went through, wait at least 24 hours from when you made your purchase. It can take time for a purchase to go through and for the items you’ve bought to show up in the game.
