How to link my EA Origin account with Steam?

Re: How to link my EA Origin account with Steam?

@The_other_Rare
I wanted to play EA game via Steam (for all that perks Steam is providing, like achievements, forums, game discussion/comments etc. etc.)
I thought that when I link it with Steam, the games I own on the Origin becomes available on Steam too, shame.

So. actually what is the point of linking that both services anyways?

Re: How to link my EA Origin account with Steam?

Hi there! I too have a similar issue with Steam and EA Play + Origin.
I subscribed to EA Play on Steam and installed SW Squadrons a few days back to access the 10 hours game time.
Then i found a decent deal on some website for the SW Squadron key activating on Origin and bought it.
I was hoping i could link the Steam account and gain access to the full game on Steam since i own it, but after playing a little bit of the ‘trial’ version i see that the game is not synced between Steam and Origin, which means that i am asked to re-download the entire game once more only to be launched by Origin instead of Steam. I really don’t appreciate downloading 30Gb of files when these same files are already sitting on my HD.
Is there a way that i can copy/paste the main game files from their current Steam location to the folder appointed for DLoad of the Origin version and after that verify/rehash the files through the Origin launcher in order to complete the DLing of the specific Origin executables and DRM files? That would save me much traffic and time.
Thanks in advance.

The issue is, it auto logs me in, so I have no chance to sign into Steam.

Re: How to link my EA Origin account with Steam?

I bought on steam and it appears to have downloaded the game.

I linked my account to EA, by signing into EA with my Steam credentials.

I now see a copy of the game in my EA client, but it wants me to download it (I’ve already downloaded it in steam).

I hate to download it a second time, and have two versions of the game on my PC. Can I tell EA where my Steam install is, somehow, so it will use that install?

I suppose when you first launch the game Origin will also get installed and you will be required to create an EA account.

Origin will simply run in the background, just like Uplay if they decide to go that way.

Really not sure if i should buy the game on steam or just get it from retailers. Retailers will probably be origin only. But would still love to have this game in my steam library.

Yes, retail will be Origin only.

For Steam you will also be required to activate it on Origin.

Just purchase it on here and you will also get it on Origin.

It will work just like Ubisoft games. Games will be installed in your steam folder of choice. When you launch through Steam the first time, you will be asked to login to Origin. At that point the game will be added to your Origin account and load from there.

Steam will still track your playtime and achievements ( if they implement it for Steam ) like any other Steam game.

Sorry but i don’t have any ubisoft games on steam. I buy those from retailers because i don’t really like having to use 2 launchers.

Sorry but i’m a bit confused about this.

If you buy on Steam, then you will need Steam+Origin running in order to play. If you buy from Origin, or any other store, then all you need is Origin running.

My confusion was with how will the game be activated on origin.

Normally when i buy a game DIRECTLY from steam i don’t have to enter a key for it. There may be a key added to my account when i buy a game but i don’t have to type and enter the key. Normally you type the key for retail games.

But i have no idea how this whole thing works for Jedi Fallen Order.

Re: How to link my EA Origin account with Steam?

Great. Now it wants me to create a new EA account, liked with my (existing) Steam account.

I unlinked temporary(?) to test if my refunded Origin / Steam shared game would disappear from the Origin library, but it did not. (I know about and use the «hide» filter).

How do I link my existing Origin / EA account with my existing Steam account?

Re: How to link my EA Origin account with Steam?

It told me I need another app, I have an origin and steam account, but when I pressed on the EA game, it told me I needed a different app and sent me to the marketplace, but there were no apps for link2ea

Re: How to link my EA Origin account with Steam?

Every time i try this it makes me reset my password then when i go back to login with it again it just keeps telling me my password expired even right after resetting it. Anyone have the same problem?

Re: How to link my EA Origin account with Steam?

Hi, for everyone it auto logs in, u can log out and relog in, if u want to link existing accounts, both have to be using the same mail, but from what I’ve seen so far, games don’t sync nor ea play, which is a bummer.

there’s a game included in ea play on steam but it’s not included on origin so I was hoping to link them and be able to play it on steam. Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to work, I hope EA and Steam work on it so users can have a better experience, as I don’t want to pay for ea play twice on different account that are linked already, no reason why I should have to

Re: How to link my EA Origin account with Steam?

In addition to the annoyance of not being able to link existing Origin and existing Steam accounts easily- I’m pretty annoyed at having to have two separate Origin launchers now for one of the games I have through EA Play on Steam. It’s not even done downloading and I might uninstall, 0/10 execution.

Re: How to link my EA Origin account with Steam?

How do you do it know since its 2022

Re: How to link my EA Origin account with Steam?

I managed to link it by following what @The_other_Rare says in post #2 above (first page).

I have the same email address for both Steam and Origin accounts, not sure if that’s important. When I entered the email for the «new» Origin account, it found my existing one and that was it. I may have misunderstood before, I’m not sure (don’t remember).

But there’s something funny going on with Origin’s Filter settings. It shows 1 hidden game, and 1 Steam game, but none of them actually shows up even if I clear or select said filters.

I only had 2 games bought via Steam, one of which I refunded. The other one I did not refund. Both gone now 😛 It works from Steam and recognize my Origin account, so no biggie I guess.

EDIT: Nope, the refunded Steam is still there. Just needed to activate both filters at once (Steam + hidden games). Not sure if it complicates matter that I re-bought it later on Origin? Btw that version is also there anyways (not hidden etc), and works. Idk. Hours played is the same on both, probably since it’s the same title. It’s a bit messy. Or actually it’s not, or shouldn’t be. But it is. But sure I’ll just continue having the refunded Steam version as «hidden», not really a problem. Just odd.

Как привязать Origin к Steam? Войдите в программу Стим, запустите игру EA через приложение путем нажатия кнопки Играть. Далее установите Ориджин и привяжите Стим к профилю EA, если это еще не сделано. После этого войдите в Origin с помощью учетной записи EA или создайте новую. На следующем шаге Steam начинает установку и информирует, когда можно начать играть. Ниже приведем пошаговую инструкцию по привязке и отвязке аккаунта (если это необходимо).

Можно ли связать аккаунта Origin к Steam, и как это сделать

Первые новости о партнерстве Valve и EA появились в конце прошлого года, а в 2020 году все чаще стали появляться вопросы, как связать Origin и Steam. Благодаря партнерству компаний, сделать это несложно, а сам процесс занимает минимум времени. Для выполнения работы потребуется профиль EA и лаунчер Origin. Кроме того, после связывания профилей потребуется еще один клиент.

Отметим, что по правилам можно привязать только одну учетную запись Стим к каждому аккаунту ЕА. Это означает, что нужно убедиться в правильном выборе нужной учетной записи. Сразу отметим, что детские профили EA привязать к Steam не получится. Для взрослых (пользователей возрастом от 18 лет и более) привязка Origin к Steam необходима только единожды при пуске игры от EA через Стим.

Чтобы привязать профили, сделайте следующее:

Перед тем как привязать Ориджин к Стиму, может потребоваться создание учетной записи в EA. Для этого сделайте следующее:

Как видно, привязать Стим к Origin не составляет труда. Для этого необходимо иметь учетные записи и установленные на ПК / ноутбуке клиенты. Перед началом игры необходимо настроить профиль и ознакомиться с правилами.

Как добавить игры из Origin к Steam

Не менее важный вопрос — как добавить игру из Origin в Steam, чтобы расширить возможности игрока. Сделайте следующие шаги:

Как видно, привязать учетки и добавить игры из Origin в Steam не составляет труда. Если для игрового софта необходима установка Origin, появляется соответствующее сообщение. В нем указывается о наличии сторонней DRM защиты. При этом нужна сетевая активация, установка приложения и работа в фоне.

Многие спрашивают, как связать Ориджин и Стим, чтобы играть с друзьями в игры, нуждающиеся в установке, но купленные в Steam. В таком случае нужно добавит друзей из Origin. Для этого:

Как только друг найден, наведите мышку на его аватар, а после перейдите в пункт Посмотреть профиль. В верхнем правом углу жмите Отправить запрос в друзья и дождитесь принятия заявки.

Перед тем как объединить (привязать) Ориджин и Стим, определитесь с играми, которые поддерживают площадку. Если софт работает на Steam, он не требует установки Origin. При этом вы сможете играть с друзьями через ту же платформу. К примеру, если друг играет через Стим, вам также придется действовать таким же образом.

Как вариант, можно использовать кросплатформенный игровой софт, который доступен в обоих сервисах. В таком случае удается связать учетные записи Origin и Steam, а после развлекаться с друзьями с обеих платформ одновременно.

Как отвязать Стим от Ориджин

В некоторых случаях возникает ситуация, когда вы решили привязать две площадки, а потом передумали. При таких обстоятельствах нужно знать, как отвязать Стим от Ориджин. Сделайте следующие шаги:

Зная, как привязать Origin к Steam, вы расширяете возможности приложения и можете наслаждаться любимыми играми с друзьями. В комментариях поделитесь, как вы используйте эту опцию, и насколько она вам помогает.
