Does it have Cross Play with Origin BF1?

[King Hadu]

I have BF1 on Origin but the Online has always been low population

This one on Steam now does it have cross play with the Origin one? will there now be a higher playerbase?

Not sure what you mean, you will install this game from the Steam but you still need Origin app for connecting to the game serves.

Steam is just a wrapper. The game still uses EA's server and u still need to login to Origin account to play. If u have Bf1 on Origin dont buy it again on Steam

Yeah I own BF1, BFV, and Battlefront II on origin. Though I’d like them on my steam profile it would be a total waste of money to buy them again.

Yes.

And in relation to what BroncoBuster said about needing Origin. That is kind of true, when launching Battlefield a lite version of Origin is launched in the background, you won't even notice its there unless you seek it out. This lite version of Origin also closes by itself once you close the game too.

You could always make them as non-steam games and they can be launched through steam I think, it's not the same but almost
