Can you move origin games to steam??

[YanMark]

Now that we have most of EA games here on steam i'd like to know if there's a way to transfer my games on origins on steam, i don't like origin launcher and i have 6 games, (mass effect trilogy and dragon age trilogy) does anyone know how to move the keys from origin to steam??

[Wolf Knight]

you have to buy from steam to have it on steam. unless you can get origin to give you a steam key, your out of luck

[C2Dan88]

Nope you cant transfer games

You still need the origin launcher even if you bought the games on steam

[mimizukari]

buy them again on Steam.

if you want full steam functions buy them again here

if you just want play & already have them installed add the games as non-steam game

anyway remember non-steam / steam EA games still need a origin account for access the service

No, for pretty much the same reason you can't tale games on Xbox and transfer them to PS.

I cant remember what order it was but I manged to use 1 key on both steam and origin and this was from the Bioware site. I think they've changed it now.

Long time ago (Back at the beginning of Origin) you could redeem your EA Steam games on Origin.
EA hasn't opted their Origin titles to work the other way around.

no sorry you cannot

Tell me which other service allows you to add your games from their clients to Steam.

I'll wait...

Basically none. Steam is king. There's plenty of examples going the other way though.

And you'll notice that in those cases the publisher of the games also is the owner of that service. Which has nothing to do with "Steam is king", but with "Publishers decide".

In most cases.

GOG Connect, where you get a GOG copy of selected games you own on Steam, (but seems to be inactive now) is not the case, but publishers do decide whether they want their game on GOG Connect or not.

Go to EA Answers. But as an appetizer, I'll tell you that they will probably say "No".

I had ME1 and ME2 on steam, but ME3 never came.

So I bought trilogy and the stupid DLC packs on Origin. It was annoying, they didn't have a shopping cart.

My bank called, that was interesting, but somewhat heartwarming. The agent said that the lack of a shopping cart was "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid" then apologized for swearing.

I told her it was christmas, and all was forgiven.

All the titles added "Back" to steam? Still need Origin. It's just an additional complication.

What I do now is, if a game is Ubisoft? I buy it on uPlay. If it's EA? I buy it on Origin. If it's on offer for free, I redeem it on Epic Game Store.

My computer can't run any current rockstar games, but if I wanted one of theirs, I'd buy it there.


I still like STEAM best, but I kind of hate that the other services essentially slot empty boxes on steam these days, and you have to download their Disney + to get at it.

Oh shoot, I thought Epic was the one getting flack from people (including me) for not having a shopping cart.

Shows how little I buy from Origin directly (I've bought Origin games from Amazon, for instance).
