I can't find a way to preload battlefield 2042 on EA app via Game Pass's EA play.I find the preload button on origin, but it seems that I can only use my ea play(gained from the game pass) on the ea app because origin doesn't recognize my account as having ea play!
It should be appearing in EA Desktop now, if not restart it.
Just wanted to add to this question. As a GamePass member the only way to use my EA Play membership is via the EA Desktop app. Want to know how I can access the Battlefield 2042 beta early access via EA Desktop. Even downloading the beta on Origin but it does not show on EA Desktop at all.
Origin as stated above does not recognise my EA Play membership.
Yep, I think they just simply forgot about the ppl that got EA Play throught the XBOX Game Pass.
I wonder how much effort it takes to deploy the beta to the EA Dektop app as well...
Same here. I even went to the web version of origin logged into my EA account that's linked to my MS account that has Gamepass, I was able to click pre load, and now in EA Desktop in my library there is "Battlefield 2042 Technical Playtest" but when I click on it it dose nothing and in red letters right below it it says "the alpha has expiered".
Actually I'm downloading it through origin now. I don't know if its working because I have EA Desktop installed as well (but not running at the same time), but I'm pre loading the beta using Origin and I have EA Play through GamePass.
If it helps anyone this is exactly what I did.
Went to the Origin.com WEBSITE and signed into the EA account that I have linked with my Xbox Gamepass account On that page is the 2042 beta with a pre load button, I clicked pre load (in my EA account "purchase history" it now shows BF 2042 beta). I then installed origin, and launched it but only with EA desktop not running. When I went to "My Game Library" the beta was there and it let me start pre loading.
I need to keep EA desktop installed because if I browse games in Origin, when I try to get a EA play game, it pull up the page to sub to EA Play or EA Play pro. But according to EA's FAQ you can have origin and EA desktop installed at the same time no problem you just can't RUN them both at the same time.
Same problem here, no 2042 Beta on EA Desktop app.
