    Hi @afras00 To confirm the EA Play subscription is platform specific, so the version you have on Steam is not the same as the one on Origin/EA App, or Xbox/Playstation. 

    You may see some EA Games use a lighter version of Origin to run. Going to a different platform will not take your EA Play subscription with you, you will want to continue using it through the Steam client.

    @afras00 and @EA_Illium 

    I ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!  The fact that I need 2 separate subscriptions (one on Steam and one on the EA app) is ABSOLUTELY idiotic!!  Especially when the library of EA is so limited.  There are some games that EA has that are not available on Steam; which means I would have to pay for 2 separate monthly subscriptions.  I guess this gives me a good reason to stop playing the FEW EA games I do play...it isn't worth it.

    So we need two subscriptions? One for Steam and one for EA?
    Why isn't EA Play cross-platform? 

    If this is really the case, I'm canceling my subscription.

    Going to go ahead and lock this thread as it is quite old.
