    • select "extensions"
    • disable the extension for the EA App 
    • find the game you want to download on the xbox app, youll notice that the install selection has now gone away and been replaced by an option asking you to "enable extension" 
    • go ahead and enable it
    • it should then launch the EA app automatically
    • upon seeing the app open, it should now allow you to select an SSD/HDD to install your game to!

    Hopefully this helps. wish EA and XBOX didnt make us jump through hoops to make this work. 

    @Ew_Damon We appreciate you listing these out for everyone. Will pass it along and see if it helps others out as well!

    Cheers!

@tash_monkeyttv I can see that your account is linked with Xbox correctly and I can see the sub. That I believe is more of a network issue. Maybe not your network but the EA app is having some issues at the moment that may be affecting your connection.

I did find a few links in the meantime that have quite a few steps if you would like to check them out!

Link 1

Link 2

Link 3

Microsoft Steps

In the mean time, I'm checking with the team to see if one is affecting the other!

        I saw a game I wanted to play as soon as I saw it was on EA I knew I was gonna have to go on a rabbit hole journey to be able to get the game to download to play.
