Can I link EA play from Game Pass Ultimate to Steam

I have Xbox Gamepass Ultimate on my Xbox account which includes EA Play, I also saw that Steam offers free games if you have an EA Play Subscription. Is there any way to get my EA Play Subscription ...

    Hey @BlazeOfSteel412,

    The EA Play games available on Steam may differ slightly from the selection on EA Desktop - and thus available through the Xbox Game Pass.

    As Steam is a separate platform from EA Desktop and Origin, I'm afraid EA Play does not cross over between the two. 

    There's a bit more information about how that works here, but essentially you would need the Steam-specific version of EA Play to access those titles. The Xbox Game Pass Ultimate version only allows access to the titles available through EA Desktop. Hope that clarifies things!

Quite stupid if I can be honest. I pay for the service already, why on Earth should I pay for it again? It is baffling to me that it can't be streamlined and integrated onto multiple platforms lol. Just a money hungry company is all, not whatever * answer you provided lol.

    I totally agree, I wanted to play UFC4 with my friends on Xbox but since I bought EA play for a year on pc so I cant. It's ridiculous, to be honest, it cant cost much in EA's standards to make it work in sync across all platforms...
