    @Lyron_Aguiar Achievements and progress isn't moved from one app to the other. They are all based on the platform you are playing it through. If you uninstall it from Steam and your PC, you can install it through the Xbox app as long as you have Game Pass sub and the Xbox account is linked to the right EA account.

    I own it on both and tested it and it doesn't open in Steam for me.

    Cheers!

@EA_Shepard Hey I uninstalled the game from steam but I am still not able to install the game from Xbox Game Pass.

I click install for PvZ GW2:Deluxe edition in the Xbox App on PC it prompts me with the install option but after clicking install it still doesnt install.

In the EA app under the game it it still mentioned "Deluxe edition Accessed through steam"
