Xbox game pass/EA Play with Origin

I linked my XBox account, booted up the Xbox app, ran Titanfall ,2 which sent me to the EA Desktop app, which loaded the game and everything works and EA Desktop shows I have EA Play as well as in my EA account.

Great right?

HOWEVER when using Origin, its shows that I don't have EA Play. I'd have thought that since its the same account, it would tell both apps I have it?

Also if I run Battlefield 1 through the Desktop app, its says I only have 15 minutes left! I have 635 hours in that game as I own it!

Have tried clearing the caches of both to see if that fixes it but it didn't do anything.

Is there anyway to fix this? I keep hearing about the "One XBox account in a lifetime of an EA account" but that's not the issue here as it obviously is connected correctly at some point to allow me to use EA Play through the desktop app

    Hey @Murray667, 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.

    If using EA Play through Game Pass then you will only be able to access EA Play games through EA Desktop. If you wish to play on Origin then you will need to be a member there.


    As for the issue with BF1, are you sure that you have not downloaded and installed a trial of 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.
