Hey @Silverblood2008,

 

Switching back and forth between two different platforms can be a bit tricky when trying to determine which DLC can still be accessed.

 

This page breaks it down a bit further, but I've also listed the relevant portion below.


If I buy a game on Steam, can I buy DLC for that game on Origin?

If you’re playing a Steam-native game, you can’t buy DLC (downloadable content) on Origin.

 

You can only buy DLC both on Origin and Steam if you’re playing a game that uses Origin.

 

If I buy a game on Origin, can I buy DLC for that game on Steam?

If you buy a game on Origin, you’ll need to buy all DLC for that base game on Origin.


There is not a way to transfer that DLC between platforms, so if you're playing in Origin, I'm afraid you'll only have access to the DLC that was purchased in Origin as well.
