@Cookieman92 If you right click the game in steam there should be an option to view product keys for the DLC (might be in properties). You can use these to add them to your origin account here: https://www.origin.com/can/en-us/game-library

For the base game you will need to contact tech support to transfer the purchase to origin after linking your steam and origin accounts and proving you bought it with screen shots. Only way to link them that worked for me was to download apex legends (free but takes forever to download) on steam and sign in there.

@MeiOokamiThank your for the support. However, I don't see a "View CD Key" option when I right click on the game in the steam library, including in properties. Also, when I redeem the CD key from the physical copy in Origin, it says "This code has already been redeemed".
