Re: Linking Steam and Origin account

@Shaddeath 

You only need to link your accounts the first time you play an EA game on Steam.

  1. Sign into Steam.
  2. Launch an EA game from Steam by clicking Play.
  3. Install Origin if you haven’t already.
  4. Origin will launch and ask you to link your Steam account and your EA Account.
  5. Log in to Origin using your EA Account info or create a new EA Account.
  6. Steam will install your game and let you know when it’s ready to play.

    But, for this need should buy game again only Steam! I have this game in Origin, and i want just add it in my steam library, rather than buying it second time!

  • @ivykisss You can only add it to steam as a non-steam game if you wish. This way you can lunch it with steam, but that's all to it. If you wish to have trading cards or have the game on your profile, you have to buy it on steam.
