EA Play not activated after linked with XBOX Game Pass
Hi,
I am having an extremely annoying issue with EA Play.
I have just activated my XBOX Ultimate Game Pass that comes together with the EA play subscription. I have linked my EA account with my XBOX account (it even says in the EA account settings that my XBOX game tag is associated with it). However, whenever I try to download any game (Battlefield 2042, in my case) that is included with the EA game pass, the EA app just prompts me to buy it. I have tried signing out from the EA app a number of times, restarting my XBOX app as well, but nothing seem to work. The accounts are linked, I click on the Install button in the XBOX app, it automatically opens the EA app with my linked account, but instead of prompting me to download the game, it suggests that I buy it. How come?
Hi Shepard,
Thank you for getting back to me on this one.
A long story short, I have managed to solve this on my own, and I have posted a detailed explanation to the crux of the issue and how to tackle it on the Microsoft's forum: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/ea-play-not-activated-with-xbox-ultimate-gamepass/6e44747a-584e-451e-88e6-3fd9a378a167?messageId=9240a2f9-c957-4a87-8dcb-869ec0ae5ec8.
If anyone has faced the same problem that I did, please feel free to take a read. The fix is rather simple, but might seem a little annoying for some of you.
