Game boots up EA App when you launch it through Steam. You cannot launch the game without EA App.

The first EA account that you launched the game with from Steam after buying it, will have the game locked/registered behind it. It should be in the Library tab in EA App.

So you either already locked this game behind some other EA account or I don't know.

Also can be issue with corrupted files in game folder (Steam file validation from Library fixes that) or MassEffectAndromeda.exe inside the game folder has "Run as Administrator" checked in Compatibility tab. If so, then uncheck it and restart PC.

Also you can try to uninstall Mass Effect Andromeda from Steam Library then uninstall Mass Effect Andromeda from system with Revo Uninstaller. Might be some registry keys conflict etc.
Worth a try at least.

Honestly EA games in Steam have (and always had) so much problems with launch I dunno why Steam even sells them here. Must be having tons of refunds.

I'm with this same issue, my EA play launcher do not recognize the game

Found the solution, if you already downloaded the trial version or from another launcher one time, the game will keep the same directory of the previous version, so you have to change manually in the Windows registry https://prnt.sc/4v2WiOCeEb3-

I just follow this thread and worked:
