Unable to play Battlefield 2042 early access game pass ultimate on PC

I'm currently on PC. I have Xbox game pass ultimate, and I am trying to get early access to the game through the EA app. I made sure to link my Xbox account with EA, and it shows I have EA play. However, I cannot find the early access game. Whenever, I search for it, it only shows that it is available to play on November 19th. Would this issue have anything to do with the fact that I per-ordered the game? I've also tried to get it through origin, but it doesn't show that I have ea play through there which I find bizarre. Any ideas? Am I just out of luck?

Update: It works fine with my Xbox One S. Either I'm an idiot or they don't call the EA app beta for nothing.

    I have this same issue. I pre-ordered the Standard Edition on Origin, but I also have Game Pass Ultimate. EA Desktop recognizes that I have EA Play and shows the Play logo next to my username, but after pre-loading Battlefield 2042, twice, it still shows that I can only play on 19th Nov. Tried launching it through the Xbox App as well, but it gives an error saying, "Your game failed to launch. An error on our end caused your launch to fail. Try again a little later." Apparently, EA publicly said that they solved all the issues, but they didn't.

    Same situation - Sad that pre-purchasing the game is making it so we can not play it- Should be given access here - ... not expecting a fix here just a delay to play.
