Says the same for me.
I am already paying a xbox game pass subscription and EA Desktop beta app does not recognise my subscription, but asks me to pay pay again.
EA account now shows xbox account is linked, but still wont recognise subscription so I cannot play any EA Play games with Xbox Game Pass.
Pretty close to cancelling all Microsoft and EA linked subscriptions and just stick to my steam catalogue backlog.
Same issue as @UberNorman with same setup
Wanted to try out SW: Squadrons, but I guess I'll stick to Steam instead.
The only thing I can think of... I'm using a different Xbox Live account than my Microsoft Store account.
My suspicion is that Microsoft doesn't know how to handle such a situation and this just doesn't work.
@UberNorman is that the case for you too?
My brother had the same issue, with different xbox live and microsoft store accounts too. I think opening EA desktop through the Xbox app might have done the trick.
@Lime_Dawn Thanks Pal - that sorted the problem for me. Just had to kill EA Desktop in the taskbar overflow and relaunch from the xbox app.
"The only thing I can think of... I'm using a different Xbox Live account than my Microsoft Store account. "
I had a similar suspicion this end. Microsoft Win10 account is linked to the Windows store and likewise to Xbox beta game client through windows. I used to have an xbox360 along time ago with the exact same username, probably even the same password as the account I'm using now.
However, Xbox on PC says I'm using another account care to switch?
If I do that my subscription is no longer valid as it is tied to the account I have games on and am paying for (with the exact same verifiable username to the same email account).
Still no fix and I can't play any EA pass title to date with xbox subscription.
Bad clients are bad regardless of how many name changes they go through.
I'm having the same problem.
- I have my correct accounts linked;
- The Xbox app on Windows see that I have Game Pass + EA Play;
- I can install EA Play games through the Xbox app;
- When I try to launch the game it opens the EA Desktop app and ask to buy the game;
- The EA Desktop app says "Join EA Play" like if I'm not subscribed.
Any workarounds or a method to skip EA Desktop?
The prints are in Portuguese but is the same as described, game pass says I have EA play, EA desktop say otherwise.
Could you solve it?
I had same issue.
Solve it by logging out of EA desktop beta.
Then I logged in again hower I logged in using xbox option.
Solved by uninstalling EA Desktop Beta and then reinstalling through Xbox app.
