How to Use Xbox Account for EA Play Games on PC?

Hi there all, I was wondering if there is a way to be able to play any of my EA games through EA Play (since I have it through Gamepass) with my Xbox account? I have my account linked to the EA app on my PC and I downloaded Need For Speed: Heat with the intentions on using my Xbox account to play it since I'm level 40 on my Xbox account. When I launch the game through the Xbox app it will use my EA account instead which is level 1 because I've never played the game on PC. I figured launching it through the Xbox app would sync the cloud and would just transfer all my data. While I know it's a separate platform, for example: When I launch Fortnite through the Epic Games launcher, it defaults to using my Xbox account instead of my Epic account. Does anyone know a fix to this?

    @LXSTSXNTRY EA Play does not transfer progress or games between console and PC. So games on Xbox would only show up on PC if you use the cloud download version. 

    PC and console are separated. EA play is included but it is the PC version of the game. If you are a higher level on console, you would need to use the cloud gaming in the Xbox app. This would essentially stream the game. Downloading it on a PC creates a PC save profile and will not use the console version.
