Re: Can I own/activate two versions of the same game?

Hey there,

Once you install the Steam version of the game it should have a different installation folder so it shouldn't conflict with your current version owned on your EA Account.

  • I see. But it says on steam that it includes EA online activation and requires an EA account. Seeing as I already own a copy of the game on my EA account, would it be an issue if I activate this copy using the same account?

    It does require you to link your Steam to your EA Account. It shouldn't cause any conflicts having the same game on both platforms, however, you can create a new EA Account if you wish and link your Steam account there. 

  • I read online that having two versions of a game on the same account can overwrite one of the versions or make one inaccessible through EA app. I assume in this case that is no longer true?
