Steam, Origin and EA Play mix up

Here's my situation rn.

I purchased FIFA 22 through steam. I did not have EA Play then, so i linked it with Origin as usual.

Now i got EA Play through Xbox Game Pass. I can log in to EA Play through steam credentials as well as origin credentials. But I only see the games i purchased through Origin like FIFA 17. FIFA 22 is not showing up on EA Play.

But when I log in to Origin or open Origin through Steam, I can see FIFA 22 (steam) in my game list on Origin.

I can't understand why, I have steam linked to origin, i have ea play through xbox game pass. I have steam linked to xbox gaming. I have origin linked to EA Play. I can open EA Play using steam. Why cant I see/open/play FIFA 22 through EA Play? Isn't Origin and EA Play the same platform just renamed? Shouldn't they have a migration system to help migrate games from Origin to EA Play?

    Hello @DJNoob47,

    Thank you for reaching out. 

    I read your message and unfortunately you cannot play games through Steam via the EA app currently. For now they only work with Origin and that's why you cannot play the game via the EA app. 

    So if you want to play FIFA 22 and the games on EA Play, I am afraid that you will have to use both launchers at this time.
