Re: How to invite steam friends in Apex?

HI @Srksii, 

For games that need Origin but were bought on Steam, you’ll need to add your friends on Origin or EA Desktop to play with them. You won’t be able to add friends on Steam. Use this article to help troubleshoot issues you may have with your EA games on Steam.

STILL HAVING TROUBLE?

Hopefully, that will help you with your question

Cheers

    @AvengerRanger That's actually incorrect. Adding them on Origin itself does not automatically put them on Steam. The player has to connect their Steam account to their Origin account in order for the friend list to show Origin friends. I have only 5 people on Steam that show up from my Origin list, where I have over 100 Origin friends (randoms who I just basically vibed with enough to get through matches).

    I could install the Steam version of the game and log in with my Origin account, but for some reason, that doesn't really do much, unless my friends hit the "connect to steam" (When you look at the friends page, there's a connect to steam option), or they got the Steam version and connected the account.

    AKA, Players must have their Origin connected to Steam to see each other, from what I've noticed.
