[PC] EA app Doesn't Recognize I Have Game Pass Linked

  • ANSWER:
  • have the EA app closed before doing.
  • navigate to the xbox app
  • go to settings (click your name top left corner)
  • 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  • find the game you want to download on the xbox app, youll notice that the install selection has now gone away and been replaced by an option asking you to "enable extension" 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.
