Re: Purchasing DLC for Origin-bought games through Steam

What about buying DLC on Steam for a game bought through Origin? Would that be possible?

Any more or less official or certain answer would be much appreciated.

Yep! You can buy DLC both on Origin and Steam.

If I buy a game on Origin, can I buy DLC for that game on Steam?

For Origin-purchased base games, you’ll need to buy all DLC in Origin." ←

    Thaks for the reply, and the official link. Since that's the case, I'm not going to be able to buy DLCs any time soon, but at least now I know, and knowing yadda yadda.

    Hey @NovaStarOG as I understand it you will be able to purchase content through Steam.

    What if you have bought the game on a cd and not on origin, can you just launch it on origin and then buy steam DLC? I mean i don't know how to properly ask what i need to ask, but does it make any diffrence or it doesn't matter if you bought it online or on a cd?
