    Hey @betilmaster, 


    Steam has an option to add non-Steam games to your library, but that doesn't have the full Steam integration. If you wanted to add the game to your actual Steam account you would need to do so by clicking on "Play Game" on the game's Steam store page and install the client through the Steam downloader.

    Hey @Thi3f-U. 

    If you have an existing EA Account you should just be able to link that with Steam. 


    For more information on how you can link up the accounts check out the EA Help website. Let me know if you run into any trouble getting them connected.

    @Srksii 

    With other EA games on Steam there's usually a "light" version of the Origin client that runs in the background after you launch the game. You may not need to have the full Origin client running at the same time.
