xbox game pass ultimate and EA Desktop

Hi,

I've downloaded the EA Desktop BETA and have installed it, however even though I have Xbox game pass ultimate and my accounts are seemingly linked, I don't appear to be able to download and play the EA titles that should come with it?

Thanks,

Jabark

  • I do not see any EA Game on my PC, only on my Xbox. I'm using the Ultimate Game Pass.

    Are you accounts linked?

  • It only works if you make a new account linking initiated by installing an EA game from the xbox app. The EA desktop app then shows a membership of "EA play with game pass".

    I had to unlink previous linked EA and xbox accounts from the EA website and go through the linking steps.

    Its months late so it ought to have coped with an existing account linking.

    My existing link was working fine.

  • Great if its working for you but for those still with probs then unless your membership shows "EA play with Game pass" in the EA Desktop app then its likely you'll get stuck at "preparing" stage when trying to install a game from the xbox app.

    They've had long enough to debug migrating existing account linkings but for those of us that it didnt work properly its easy enough to unlink accounts from the ea website and go through the linking process thats triggered when installing a EA game from the xbox app

  • @def77 so its way pass but its asking me to pay still when i have ultimate and its connected already and asking me to pay?
