As mentioned it doesn't appear active for downloads yet. I too struggled finding a way to link but finally managed via these instructions with special note to logging off/on that page as the option to login via XBOX (see pic in KB article) it doesn't show up from other portal(s) entry from what I tried:
https://help.ea.com/en/help/account/link-your-console-accounts/
GL
1. Go to https://help.ea.com/en/
2. Log out if you logged in
3. Click on the login right upper corner
4. Down you'll see "sign in using Xbox live"
5. After you sign in with your Xbox account it'll tell you to sign in with your ea account
6. Done you got your Xbox account linked
To check if the account got linked or not
1. On the same page https://help.ea.com/en/
2. Go to accounts top left (sign in if you didn't)
3. Then 'Account security'
4. Then 'About me'
5. Scroll down you'll find your Xbox account under 'Connected accounts'
That's it
"Sorry for my bad English"- @BaderEsh Thank you! Why the hell did they make this so hard and non-obvious. Took me a bunch of digging to find out I need the EA Desktop app and how to download it. Why they can't just put a download link on EA Play blows my mind!
Thank you so much
- @BaderEsh Thank you but EA Desktop beta still says that i dont have an EA Play account. Do u know why?
- @Bartowski23 Yeah same, I've successfully linked but the EA play app still shows a sign in the top right "Join EA Play"
Same here
EDIT: So I just found this blog post from December stating that EA Play for Xbox game pass has been delayed https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/12/15/update-on-ea-play-xbox-game-pass-for-pc-2021/ so perhaps its still delayed, or?
I have Xbox Game pass ultimate but i still cant get access to EA play why???
For those wondering:
It was announced that EA Play with come to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Game Pass for PC on 15th Dec, 2020. However, it was delayed at the last moment. Now it is planned to come out some time in 2021. Right now, there is no confirmed date. Once it goes live, I am sure instructions will be shared on how to link accounts, and those who have already linked the accounts will be able to access it.
