Re: EA Play Steam achievements

Hello @nikhyper_88

Yes you will be able to gain steam achievements for the EA Play games you play, some of the games also transfer the achievements you gained from Origin over to Steam, here's a small snippet from the BFV page:

BFV Achievements have just been added alongside many other EA games. Achievement progress is retroactive, meaning if you’ve completed the objective already in Origin or Steam, you’ll be granted the achievement in Steam.

I don't know for sure but games will probably be added to your library upon download and require an EA account login, once your sub expires you won't be able to access the game and if uninstalled will likely be removed from your library. If not removed then it will just stay listed without being playable.

Someone with EA Play on Steam might be able to offer better info on that tho.

Hope that helps.

    Good evening

    I am sorry to dig up the topic but I cannot find anywhere what I am looking for: so if I understand correctly, I will get steam achievements if I subscribe to EA Play and play, say, Jedi Fallen Order.

    Can you confirm the game will remain in my library with the numbers of hours I have played + the achievements I earned ?

    Thank you very much

    Hey @BabylonSon any achievements and hours played will show in your Steam account but if you decided not to renew your membership then you will not be able to continue playing the game.

  • I'm sorry to dig this up, but my subscription just ended and the games I played don't show up on my profile anymore.
    While I understand that I don't own the games anymore, I did earn the achievements and I do not understand why Steam can't display them and the games' playtime.

    I bought the subscription after reading your answers and I have to say, you kinda lied by saying it will still display achievements and the playtime.

    Hey @miko_ohneHose, if they are not showing then you will need to speak with Steam support who will be able to advise you further.

  • Yeah well, I contacted Steam Support and they said this (see my attached file).

    Do not take it personally, but professionally it is a very bad trait to tell people things that are not true, especially when you're working in support.

    Hey @miko_ohneHose, if Steam removes the achievements after you end your EA Play membership but you would still like to see them then this is something that you will need to discuss with Steam as we have no input into how their platform works.

    So basically its like how steam family/game share works...The person i share games with gives me the ability to play said games and earn achievements but if he revokes access my steam profile will have no trace of said game i logged hrs on and the achievements that he owned/paid for or the abilty to review it. The only way you would know i played it to prove this is if the game remains on my recently played list on my profile which will soon disappear as i play more games  as it only shows ur most recent 3,4 games. 

  • When will EA play achievements be compatible for Xbox Game Pass (PC)? It's been way too long!

  • yeah no. i have finished me1-3 on insanity, and have literally 0 achievement's on steam. so let's get real here. if anybody has found a way to unlock their cheevs, and have them to working on steam, please hit this link up. cheers.  

    I can't even shift tab for overlay while playing an EA game on steam, not dope 😛
