    Ah yes you will have access to EA Play through the Game Pass, but this is only through the EA app and not through Origin @SaintAils.

    You can download and install the EA app open beta via this link: https://www.ea.com/ea-app-beta

    When you log into the EA account that has the EA Play subscription then you should be able to download and play the games included in EA Play.

  • Yes yes yes two different things bla bla. But EA App is in such a bad condition. Stops working on a regular basis, pauses at 100% download without the possibility to resume. Not even a *** download limiter?! This is nothing more than an alpha! 

    And with those issues we are NOT able to play the games! 

  • says it like it is, EA wants to force people to use EA Desktop

    Technically it would work, the same SYSTEM

    it says itself on the "EA Desktop Web Site" https://www.ea.com/ea-app-beta <----- APP BETA

    sign into the BETA

    "EA PLAY via Gamepass" owners are Forced Guinea Pigs for the Betatest, that name is EA Desktop

    some of us customers have a basic understanding of IT, or more


    ALL "EA PLAY via Gamepass" replies, here from the EA staff

    They sound like doorstep salesmen trying to sell you something

    OHH you you want to use our "EA PLAY via Gamepass" SURE, BUT USE our NEW BETA CLIENT "EA DESKTOP", not the Stable Client "Origin"

    NOT COOL Electronic Arts

    really NOT COOL

  • In fact, in EA app you can't use the "friend pass" in It takes two, in example. The game is included in the Game Pass and can be played in EA Play but you can't invite friends if you play the game through EA app.

    If you invite friends through Origin you can play without problems (well, you can't use Game Pass and you MUST PURCHASE THE GAME).

    I 100% agree with you, but I also wouldn't call Origin "stable", just more stable than EA Desktop. EA Desktop is the BF 5 of the game app world, buggy useless mess with a shiny coat of paint, and we GamePass users are forced to use it.

  • @EA_Jason I'm running into the same problem. I've got the EA app beta installed (via Xbox gamepass) and it doesn't even show the C&C Ultimate edition. It shows in the Origin app and Origin website as available but I obviously can't access them from there.
    Has there been any solution to this?

    EA Play really should be usable on either the EA App or Origin, I am having an issue currently where I can't even download a game from EA Play on the EA App because of an entitlement error where it says I own a game that I don't and won't let me download because of it only with the EA app, the game doesn't appear on Origin at all, but I can't use EA Play on Origin.
