PC Origin store vs EA desktop game availability?

I have a game I am interested in on the origin store ( command and conquer complete collection) that says it's available with EA Play. 

I get EA play trough my Xbox Games pass for PC. But Origin store doesn't recognize my EA play access and the game is not available on EA DESKTOP or trough Xbox game pass. When i try clicking "get game" i get sent to a signup for EA Play. but as I understand I already have it? or is origins a separate EA play entity?

Is this an oversight or do I have to purchase the game separately?

thanks!

  • Hey @Oakman_85 the games available through EA Play will differ per platform.

    As Ea Desktop is still in Beta then a number of games available on Origin are not currently supported on EA Desktop.

    If you wish to play a game that is only available on Origin through EA Play then you would need to be a member there, our membership is available on each platform for $4.99, or regional equivalent. There is no cross-platform subscription at this time. As such if you wish to use EA Play on different platforms then you will need an active membership on each.

  • OK Thanks! then I know I'll have to purchase it if I want it, at least for now. It's not like it's expensive for the content, but wanted to double check so I didn't purchase it in vain. 

    Is it planned to have parity over Origins and EA Desktop or will they be 2 different services?

    Happy to be of help @Oakman_85.

    I would not have any further information about the future of EA Play that I can share.
