Odd, I just see the Syndicate game, which I already have on Origin. I can’t see the Ultima games at all. Ah well. I probably wouldn’t play them anyway.
I had to refresh my page on Origin twice to get them to show up with the Free price (it was saying some error for price) but all 3 showed up from the link on this page. You can also see them in the Under $5 list but have to look for them. The link takes you to just these 3 (I didn’t try on the Origin launcher so that might be different).
I’m logging in with the Origin app on PC and if you search for “Ultima” nothing comes up except for a few people’s user names. And there’s nothing to refresh there. Which is pretty bad for an online store given I can see Ultima 7 when I search games under $5, but nothing when I search explicitly for it. No Underworld in Under $5 in the app, either. How very EA.
I had to use a VPN to connect to USA. Then they showed up immediately. Clearly this is not meant for Australians. I “paid” with the PayPal trick mentioned above. The games showed in my account.
Thanks for the tip, switching to US made them show up. But only after I searched for “Underworld”. Zero results for Ultima. I think they got the work experience students to design their search engine.
It’s been years since I last used Origin O.o I refuse to buy awful EA games. They can keep em.
It does not work:
error 404
Well, that didn’t go as planned
I refreshed my browser page twice to get it to work.

Used it for the “on the house” games 😀 …. which was quietly removed
Oh, the memories. I remember my first ever freebie on IGB to be Dead Space “on the house”. Sad that Origin came to shite from that forward.
Select paypal, don’t need to add any payment details
That’s what I did also 🙂 Add all 3 “to order” but that puts it in the cart & then use Paypal to checkout without even needing to add your Paypal if it isn’t already linked.
I figured out a way to not enter a credit card — select UnionPay. You do not need a UnionPay account.
Paypal works also
Interesting case, but why get DRM games when you have DRM-free games.
Already have Syndicate on Origin …. needs payment details before claiming the free games 🙁
I’m happy with them on my GOG library 🙂
Click on Paypal & you don’t even need to add your Paypal.
Unfortunately, you have to enter payment details to get these.
Use Paypal & no need to add anything, not even your Paypal info.
Nah. Shouldn’t even need to do that. Plus I’m not adding any form of payment info to Origin. Thanks for the advice, but I’ll pass. Gog gave out Ultima Underworld 1 and 2, plus EA gave out Syndicate 3 some time ago.
You don’t understand, you don’t need to do anything, it won’t even ask you for any paypal info! Just click the paypal tab at the top, it will say something about a new account and just click procced, but never asks for anything, it just completes the order
Adding a PayPal account, is still adding a payment method. I only have an Origin account because of Origin On the House.
So I’m sorry to say this, but it appears you’re the one who doesn’t understand.
