Re: Does Ea Play work on origin if i bought it on Steam?

Hi @EA_Darko 

I've done this, and played two EA games on the machine. They show up in Origin too. The problem that I suspect the others are facing is that Origin does not seem to realise that I've already purchased EA Play (through Steam). So if I look at any game in Origin's "Browse Games" menu, I always end up at at a page trying to sell me something that I thought I'd already purchased (a year subscription to EA Play).

Should I cancel the subscription on Steam to access the games that are available on Origin but not listed as EA Play on Steam?

It's mighty confusing. When you talk about Platforms - I'm guessing you mean launchers - Origin or Steam - despite the fact that Steam EA-Play games won't launch without Origin running and being logged in. Or am I missing something here?

    @LilHelperOfEris @EA_Darko Guess what I'm asking is - is EA Play lots of completely different products? So when I bought an EA Play subscription, I wasn't actually buying EA Play as it's advertised on Origin? Looking at my EA account there's no mention of EA Play on any Platform.

    Hey @LilHelperOfEris if you are an EA Play member on Steam then you will need Origin running in order to launch many of the games but your EA Play membership does not transfer between platforms.


    If you would like to play the EA Play games on Origin that are not available on Steam then you would need to be an EA Play member on Origin.
