EA app games won’t install on steam

I linked my steam account to my EA app account. In a help article it said the games I have in the EA app would automatically start downloading on steam. 

There is no download and I can’t find anything that would mean I have those games on steam.

    Hey @mrssnail,

    Linking your Steam and EA account doesn't transfer your EA app games to Steam, so any games that you don't already own on Steam won't show up there.

    Was the article that showed you that information an official EA one? if so, could you share it with me?

    @mrssnail,

    You'll have to forgive me since I don't speak Swedish, but which line exactly are you referring to? Is it "Steam installerar ditt spel och låter dig veta när det är klart att spela."? Because looking at the English translation, it's referring to EA games that you already own on Steam.
  • Oh im sorry I thought the language would change when you linked it…

    but yes that was the line, thank you. 

    Do you know if there is a way to transfer your EA games to Steam?

    @mrssnail,

    Sorry for getting back to you so late! While there isn't a way to transfer your games over, you can set up shortcuts in your Steam to non-Steam games (By clicking "add a game" in the bottom left of your Steam library) if you still want to keep everything together. You'd just still need to install them via the EA app.
