Battlefield 6 Not Launching On Steam

I have Battlefield 6, purchased on Steam and linked to my EA account. The game appears correctly as "Play" on Steam, but when I launch it, the game doesn't open and no error message appears.

I've performed all the basic system checks:

TPM 2.0 enabled
Secure Boot enabled
HVCI and VBS enabled
GPU drivers updated
EA AntiCheat reinstalled
EA App cache cleared
EA App reinstalled

Steam file verification Steam and EA App running as administrator

EA account correctly linked to Steam Other games purchased on Steam appear and work correctly within the EA App (FIFA, Star Wars, The Sims), but Battlefield 6 doesn't appear in the EA App library, even though it's installed and purchased on Steam. The problem is specific to this game: when I click "Play" on Steam, the game process doesn't start and no error message appears; it simply doesn't launch. I'm requesting a review of the game license/link between Steam and the EA App and verification of the Battlefield 6 entitlement on my account, as it doesn't appear to be synced correctly. 

I can confirm that all other Steam games linked to EA are working correctly, so the problem seems to be isolated to this specific title.

    Cahlogr11​ Hey, when you launch the game, do you see it in the task manager? Can you also check Windows Defender and make sure it isnt being blocked. Sometimes that message will hide in the background, and you won't ever see it.
