on the xbox app i tried to install it on game pass and i have xbox game pass ultimate and it takes me to the ea store and it wants me to buy it or get monthly to play why is this happening?
@Vertutame That is incorrect. It has nothing to do with paying twice.
@Paulnoah5407 If you have Game Pass Ultimate, it does include EA Play for Xbox yes. When you open up the game or try to install a game and it asks you to purchase it, typically is it because the Xbox account you are on isn't not linked to the right EA account, or there is a sync issue.
Log into EA.com with your EA account. Go into the connections tab and make sure the right Gamertag is linked. If not, check out the Unlink a platform article it will provide you with all the steps to resolve that part.
If the correct accounts are linked, try the following steps:
- Close the EA app.
- navigate to the Xbox app
- Go to settings (click your name top left corner)
- Select "extensions"
- Disable the extension for the EA App
- Locate the game you want to download on the Xbox app
- You'll notice that the install selection has now gone away and been replaced by an option asking you to "enable extension"
- Enable the EA app extension
- The Xbox app should then launch the EA app automatically
- Once you see the EA app open, you should now be allowed to select an SSD/HDD to install the game

@Paulnoah5407 @Vertutame Are you still having issues with the Xbox App and Game Pass and installing or playing games?

I am having the same issue and multiple other people are reporting it on various social media platforms. Seems there is a break in the connection between Game Pass and EA play.

lot of minimsing going on here for an issue thats been raised across multple tickets by various people. Unable to install games, messages saying trials have endeds upgrade to pro despite showing membership of EA play required for the game, in the very app..games removed from liabarys, get yourself together and investigate
What might help you is anything with an active trial left seems downloadable, anything without a trial or trial expired is not

They have said that its a widespread issue effecting the service. They didn't know that at the time. Please explain how they are supposed to fix a bug they didn't know was going to exist? Its a glitch, they are responding. Everyone needs to calm down and stop acting like the sky is falling.
