Battlefield 6 not showing in EA Play library (XXXXXXX name issue)

Hi everyone,
I’ve been dealing with an issue where Battlefield 6 (Phantom Edition), purchased on Steam, does not appear in my EA Play library, even though the game launches fine through Steam.

When I enter the game, my name appears as XXXXXXX on the scoreboard.


When I logged into the EA PLAY Windows app, I noticed Battlefield 6 wasn't listed in my game library. I think there's an issue between STEAM and EA PLAY. I contacted EA PLAY support, manually unlinked, and then reconnected my Steam account, but it didn't work. All my other EA PLAY games appeared, but Battlefield 6 still wasn't.

But strangely, when I log into my EA Play account through the browser instead of the app, Battlefield 6 appears among my games.

But when I click on the Battlefield 6 game on the browser, the BUY button appears.

When I click on a different EA PLAY game I own, a REQUEST A REFUND button appears. So, there's a problem. I've contacted several support teams, but nothing has resolved the issue.

    i have same name problem . cant find any solution that might work , i bought my in Steam and linked in EA 

  • I had the same problem. I solved it by closing the EA App and all background processes, then starting it again.

    Close EA App and background processes

    • Right-click the taskbar → choose Task Manager.
    • Look for EA App, EABackgroundService, Origin, or similar.
    • Select the process → click End Task.

     

    TO TURN OFF the EA Background Service

    • Press Win + R
    • Type services.msc → press Enter
    • Find EA Background Service in the list
    • Right-click it → choose Stop

    This turns the service off immediately.

    • 🔧 TO TURN ON the EA Background Service
    • Open services.msc again
    • Find EA Background Service
    • Right-click → Start

      Hope this helps :)
