Re: buying a game on steam after i had played it on EA app

Hey @DarkXenome,

So long as everything is linked correctly, your progress will indeed carry over from the EA app to Steam. 🙂 If you just wanted to make 100% sure about your linked accounts, you can log in here with your EA account details, and it'll show you everything you have linked.

    Or maybe just create a shortcut in the Steam app to link to BF. Then you can still start BF2042 directly from within steam without wasting more money? I really don't see the benefit from having the game in Steam directly as you would STILL need to log into the EA account AFAIK anyway as this is a requirement to play the game.

    You will still launch the game through EA APP like everyone above suggests but you should be able to link your EA account and retrieve your stats.

    @ForumUser I played it on EA using EA Play, not by buying it, so it’s not a waste of money if I get it on Steam
