play with my son

[quaere7777]

Hi 

I have just bought battlefront 2 on PC through steam.

My son has been playing this game I think since launch, but he plays on PS4. 

The thing is my steam and ps4 accounts are using the same email address.

How can I play with him in this case? 

I cannot see him as a friend when we both are in the game (front page). I have

changed my origin name to something else so it is not the same as the ign in ps4.

But similarly cannot see him and neither can he see me as online. 

Needd some advise how to solve this pls.

Hi @quaere7777,

That adds up. You won't be able to see him on PlayStation and he won't see you on PC as you're both playing from the same EA account. You aren't going to show up on your own friends list as you can't party-up with yourself. You'll need separate EA accounts to work this.

Hi Lanna, ok noted but this does not really solve my problem. 

Can I set up a new account, and you transfer this purchase over there? 

Objective is really to play with him thats why I bought the game, or should 

I get a refund and then repurchase after I set up a new account? Whats the 

best way to achieve my objective? 

thanks.
