I Owned EA Games bought from Steam (via Origin) but can't transfer to EA App

My best guess is that it's not possible yet because the EA app is still in early access as opposed to its full release version but once it is they will hopefully have figured it out because I too have EA games I bought on Steam (or got for free on the Epic Games Store) that at this point still redirect to launching with Origin instead.

Exact same problem here. I'm uninstalling EA app and reinstalling Origin until this is fixed.

They publicly stated our stuff would be moved, but they also said 'by the time you receive your invite'. I manually upgraded without an invite so maybe I'm not migrated yet.

"For our Origin players, we’ve worked hard to make the transition to the EA app as simple as possible. We will be inviting you to make the move soon, and by the time you receive your invite, all your games and content, including games previously installed, will be ready and waiting for you on the EA app. Your local and cloud saves will transfer forward ensuring you can pick up where you left off. Your friends list transfers, too, so you won’t have to worry about remembering all those player IDs."

Oh , i see , thank you everyone for reply me 🙌

i am having the same issue bought Battle Field on origin, origin made me install the new EA app cause they were taking over origin. i tried playing my game and it did not transfer from origin to EA. i have over 59 hours played on the game i have proof.

I'll leave this here for you all. You'll need the EA client installed but, you'll want to just use the Orgin client for playing your games. Here's a step-by-step how to;

The update to the EA client is problematic for a lot of people for a bunch of their games. Solution is to re-install the Origin client and apply a fix to it. After having installed the EA client, it uninstalls the original Origin client. But, you can get the last good working Origin client installer on TechSpot;

Keep the EA client app as it's needed for verification in some games. But, you'll want to change some of it's settings. Disable 'start with Windos. Change game install directory to the Origin clients game install directory... \Orign Games. Link steam if you have games bought through Steam for EA/Origin client. Restart PC after all this so all these changes are saved in Windows Registry.

Now install the Origin client, log in....it'll self update and softlock due to that stupid EA client notice. That's ok. Close out Origin client. Run task manager and kill the Origin web helper service.....it keeps running in background. Now open file explorer and change view settings to 'show hidden system files and folders.'

In the C: drive, you should now see a folder called "Program Data." Open it and go to the Origin folder.......

Stop origin client loading EA app message;

1. Open C:\ProgramData\Origin\local.xml in notepad
2. Add new key there:

<Setting key="MigrationDisabled" type="1" value="true" />

This should go at bottom just above the last line which is "</Settings>."
Save the file and exit. Now launch Origin and that stupid notice will be gone. Exit and Restart your PC again to finalize settings.

Congrats...you should be able to play your games properly now.

If a game is not working correctly, click it in Origin client library, click the gear icon and select 'Repair.' If it still doesn't seem to work, try uninstalling and re-installing.

If it's a game bought through steam, you'll install it using steam. Then launch Origin client, select that game in the library.... it'll show a 'download' button still. Click it, Origin will find the steam install and change the button to 'Play.' Always play your games using the Origin Client and the 'play' button for that game in the Origin client library. Some games will work properly using the desktop shortcut but, others will try an launch the EA client.....which we know can be problematic for some games. Still, some games maybe throw errors if you don't have the EA client background task running so, for those, run the EA client, minimize it, then use the Origin client to launch the game.

Special thanks go out to user @tom_looken for pointing me to the code line for fixing Origin client.
