Re: Dragon Age Inquisition in Steam

Hi @ivykisss

If you link up your Origin account with Steam you should be able to then download DA:I through your Steam library. 

For more info on how that works check out the EA Help website

  • The problem is that I had to buy a game on steam in order to link my account ... isn't there another way to avoid this thing? maybe through your EA profile or similar stuff ... and frustrating having to buy a game to link your account.

    Hi @ivykisss

    I think I misunderstood the initial question. You haven't purchased DA:I through Steam, but you own the game in Origin? 

    If that's the case, I'm afraid you would need to purchase the game in Steam if you wanted to play it through the Steam client. Since Steam and Origin are separate platforms, owning the game on one of them wouldn't grant access through the other. 

    Hopefully that answers your question, but let me know if it's still unclear. 

    Thanks!

  • @EA_Kent I think it is not true at all cases.
    E.g. I bought this game yesterday and by the fact, I'm not able to run it, when the other platform is closed (launching game on either of them causes other platform to be launched). So, technically I have an access through both of them.
  • @EA_KentI own it on Steam but it takes me to origin and tries to make me buy it there before launching.. very frustrating as i dont want to buy it again, so how do i make it work on steam?

    @Arwathoes 

    It sounds like you might just need to link up your Steam account with your EA Account. 

    For more information on how you can link up the two accounts check out the EA Help website. Let me know if you're still having any trouble playing after the accounts are linked. Thanks!
