How can I link Xbox Game Pass account to my EAGames account?
I can't find any options for doing that in any of the account settings.

1. Go to https://help.ea.com/en/ 

2. Log out if you logged in

3. Click on the login right upper corner 

4. Down you'll see "sign in using Xbox live"

5. After you sign in with your Xbox account it'll tell you to sign in with your ea account 

6. Done you got your Xbox account linked 

To check if the account got linked or not 

1. On the same page https://help.ea.com/en/ 

2. Go to accounts top left (sign in if you didn't)

3. Then 'Account security' 

4. Then 'About me'

5. Scroll down you'll find your Xbox account under 'Connected accounts'

That's it

Hey @Mezkino it is not possible to use your Game Pass account on Origin on PC.

A number of EA games will be available on Game Pass for PC in the future but they will only be available on the Game Pass app.

As mentioned it doesn't appear active for downloads yet.   I too struggled finding a way to link but finally managed  via these instructions with special note to logging off/on that page as the option to login via XBOX (see pic in KB article) it doesn't show up from other portal(s) entry from what I tried:

@BaderEsh Thank you! Why the hell did they make this so hard and non-obvious. Took me a bunch of digging to find out I need the EA Desktop app and how to download it. Why they can't just put a download link on EA Play blows my mind!

Thank you so much

@BaderEsh Thank you but EA Desktop beta still says that i dont have an EA Play account. Do u know why?

[Hami403]

@Bartowski23 Yeah same, I've successfully linked but the EA play app still shows a sign in the top right "Join EA Play"

[Badical]

Same here

EDIT: So I just found this blog post from December stating that EA Play for Xbox game pass has been delayed https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/12/15/update-on-ea-play-xbox-game-pass-for-pc-2021/ so perhaps its still delayed, or?
