@terryperfect84 To clarify EA Play is not a cross-platform enabled service, so if you move the platform or client you playing on you will not carry over access.
If you wish to access the Play List titles you would want to use Steam.Thanks for reply.
So it means that if I want to play <Unravel Two> with my Steam Friend, I need to pay for EA Play again on Steam, while I've already Have EA Play Pro on Origin??
Hey @terryperfect84,
I've moved your post to a more relevant board than EA General Questions.- EA_Illium@terryperfect84 I believe Unravel Two is one of our games that runs Origin in the background while playing via Steam, If you add your friend on Origin (with their Origin Persona) check if you can see them online to send an invite once they launch the game via Steam.
I would assume this is because steam, or even Microsoft and Sony in that regard, would not let you access the games on their platform if they didn't get a cut, which means you would have to buy ea play through their platform to access it on them.
However, if you do have EA Play through Xbox Game pass, you can access EA Play on PC through EA's own ea play app. Not sure if this works if you sub to ea play through steam, but it does if you have EA Play because you have Gamepass.
Hell, I can install a game on the EA Play Client and the Gamepass app will show me it as installed inside it. Its funny.
But anyway, this is because EA wants you to be able to play on their platform if you chose. But again, you can't really go the other way due to those companies wanting their cut for you accessing those games on their platform.
