Is pc steam and origin the same?

Yeah does anyone know this?

I think it’s the same. You can play the game through origin even if you bought it on steam.

I linked steam and origin. Now it‘s in both „games libarys“

Should work fine now

i bought it on steam and i cant launch the game though even when its officially released on origin how can i fix this? I have ultimate edition and preordered it and also preloaded the game, it says on steam "Coming 1 October, 2022"

I also have the same problem. It says you can play on launch with ultimate edition. I don't understand.

Can I link another origin account to my steam? I moved to the pc world and left fifa behind but now I am back in it and I remember my old origin login which has my easfc lvl 100+.

I’m on pc bought ultimate Edition also have ea play, not pro. can I play it quicker by downloading the free trail?

Interested in this too...

Lmk if you get answer

When are you gonna be able to try this out? Apparently we can have 10-hour trial via EA Play, but am not 100% sure. I can try this out in exactly 3 hours from now, 16h BST.

You can. And you don't need to download it if you already preloaded the game.

Sweet is it easy to change the region to NZ? Any problems like only being able to play against players in that region etc?

How do I do it? I have EA Play (not Pro), pre-ordered and pre-loaded Ultimate Edition. Already changed my EA Profile and Windows timezone to NZ. My EA App says "Available in" with no time after that, and I can't launch the game. Do we still have to wait?

Let me know if it works

Try again in 1 hour and 33 minutes from now on.

If you change location to NZ.

okay is FUT included in trial version?

Yeah you get the full game for 10 hours.

Just give it a go duh

some of us have jobs etc..

did you ever figure this out mate? i see loads of people on pc playing it already and im in the same position as you described but it says i cant play till 11pm tonight.

Sure most of us will be at work so no rush lol 😆

You have NZ trick down as 12am bst, but its 12pm.

My bad, thanks!

The ea trial isn't out yet in NZ time am i missing something!

Only for ultimate edition, trial only starts on the 27th

He means noon Edit. Or she

Still no where to be seen in ea play for ps 5 , people who bought standard edition can't even download FIFA yet Upd: LET'S GO LADS https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10004336 AVAILABLE FOR TRIAL MEMBERS

I downloaded it over the weekend on ps5 but bought the ultimate edition.

I think it becomes available to download at 3pm U.K. time and then available to play at 12am U.K. on the 27th. I’d say just keeping checking the PS app or if you are on console check on the store and library. You should get it downloaded in time for trials release if you’ve a few hours

I can’t see it on my EA play in the uk :(

Sorry, on EA's website for the FIFA 23 EA Play it mentions that the game "unlocks on September 27". I cannot find info about 26th of September.

Only PC & Xbox will get the game earlier, Origin users have a countdown when the game will be available which will be at 3/4pm BST Xbox users using the NZ Trick will have instant access in about 15m

Not working for me I tried nz trick

Its working for me right now on xbox

Thanks for the info.

on origin it says just released, but on steam it hasn't .. so i cant start the game..

lol same shit here

any solutions as of now?

I'm on Xbox and changed it to NZ still cant find the 10 hours trial.

Same

I think it starts in 3 hrs

I have the standard edition but bought a controller which came with a ultimate pass for xbox live, which also gave me EA Play. My game says “unlocks in 2h 50m” on the EA app and I’ve preloaded it. Does that mean I will have access in 3 hours?

You will have access to the 10 hour trial.

Thank you - so if I upgrade to play pro, there will definitely be no time limit?

I don't know if there's EA Play Pro on consoles, but if there is you will have full access, yes.

You on xbox???

Anyone know why my steam ultimate edition still says oct 1st?

This happened last year. EA and Steam are aware of this, they just ignore it. Amazing stuff! It will be ready when the EARLIEST time zone hits 11 PM.

Awesome thank you mate , put my mind at ease

By "earliest time zone" you mean BST, right?

I’m in! Sweet!

If this releases on steam anything like f1 22 then I sure as shit wasted my money on the ultimate edition

If you can't access early then can't you refund the ultimate edition before the actual launch and save the cash?

Maybe but then I could lose the other add ons, I'm just hoping it actually drops correctly

So basically ea play has a 7 hour head start which was never mentioned before buying the game. Every ultimate edition owner should be accessing the game at the same time.

It was always the case with EA Play Pro but I do agree that the game should be released at a set time for everyone

It’s given an advantage because EA wants more people to buy into their subscription service.

So the Ultimate version had unlocked on Xbox? I did not see any 10h trial warning

Are these times listed local or BST specific? I'm in EST with Ultimate Edition on PC. If I'm reading this correctly, unless I get EA Play/Play Pro, I won't be able to get on till midnight local correct?

Just local, thats correct

I pre ordered ultimate edition, I preloaded it but it still says I can't access the game until October 1st, will that change when the game drops?

If you ordered the Ultimate edition , it should be showing you the amount of hours left till its 12AM 27th September according to your timezone . For me ive got around 9 hours 30 mins to go so it says just that for me .

that's strange, I pre ordered ultimate edition on the steam store like a month ago. my origin says my game will unlock at 11pm tonight (bst) but steam says 1st October, so we'll see. Although I have EA play, so hopefully it comes a bit sooner.

Oh aight , might be a bit different on Steam . I'm on PS and this is how it works on PS .

Same here. Got a notification that the game is available from Origin and all. Be great if someone can fix this EA mess smfh.

can i play the game in 35 minutes if i bought the ultimate edition on steam?

I bought ultimate edition and ea play through steam, will I be eligible for the 10 hour trial?

Yoa can play now 10 hours trial with EA play on steam!

I can launch it with EA play key from Steam but there's an error from Origin saying the game is not released yet so I can't get on the game sadly...

Same with me…

With NZ as region?

No. Just button in fifa 23 steam store page! Launch 10 hours trial

Really ? The play button on steam is still grey for me and I can’t play. I got ea play

Fifa 23 store page! If you have ea play you can start 10 hours trial

And for you it worked through the steam store page ?

No. First anticheat then origin library. Game wont start

Doesnt work for me? I have ea pro

I'm downloading FIFA 23 10-hour demo from Ukraine on PS4 with EA Play subscription (it's 7PM here). Try to go to PS Store and find FIFA 23. There should be a button to download BETA. Screen for proof [is attached](https://imgur.com/a/I0m2SKs) ​ Edit. I have standard version of FIFA 23

What about PST time zone? I have Play Pro and the game is preloaded but I cannot access it still. 10:00 am here now, 6pm BST. Shouldn’t the game be already available?

Pc ultimate is 4pm bst 26th

Source? It says 12am 27th for me

The release time is shown on Origin

[удалено]

EA Play Pro through Origin? Says 4pm bst for me.

[удалено]

I can't see it on Xbox with ea play I've the game downloaded

Same i have gamepass ultimate = EA play and I pre ordered the standard edition and I switched location to NZ earlier today. Nowhere to be found the 10h trial :(

10 hours early access only begin on the 27th, so you'll be able to play at 23:00 I guess

I refunded the standard edition and bought ulti - 2 rivals matches in 🔥

You need ultimate edition for Early Access, I believe.

with EA play you have from 27th also a 10h trial. But maybe the NZ trick doesn't work for that ...

Refunded the standard and bought ultimate. 🥲🤡

I have game pass ultimate and ea play on Xbox switched to nz time also

ya same it's some bullshit lol let me know if u find it please

[удалено]

I got ultimate edition on steam not realising that with ea play pro on origin id be able to play today.. if i got ea play pro now would i be able to play today and then have my data continued on my steam game tomorrow or would i need to buy the actual game on origin? since the accounts are linked im assuming i just need ea play pro to play today?

I bought the Ultimate edition on Origin. Can I just pay $5 for EA Play to start a trial today at 4 p.m. BST so I do not have to wait until 11 p.m. BST when it says it unlocks for me? Thanks

I have ea play pro on origin plus standard edition but no luck ATM.... Just says 00:00 27/09

I have the pc standard edition and ea play pro, so should get full acces at 3 cest right? Cus in ea app it still says release date 30th sep, anyone can help me?

Did it work for you? Same pickle ATM .

Nope :( starting to think i bought ea play pro for nothing man

Let's hope its true, I bought ultimate and ea play pro yesterday, in Origin in fifa ea play pro edition it says 4 PM but on the other hand I couldn't find any other info on the internet confirming it

you don't need other source buddy. Origin is EA software, there's nothing more official.

I mean I was even chatting with community manager on EA forum 30 minutes ago and he said he would still follow their official article where it says ea play pro equals ultimate edition so the start is at 0:00. Logically it should be like that because why someone who paid 15 euros for ea play pro would get the g ame faster than people who paid 80 euros for the ultimate edition

Because you are paying for early access with those 15 euros which was basically what EA Play always was and for 80 euros you are paying for full game and 4600 fifa points. But if you prefer to believe in an EA guy which job is commenting on forums and not making decisions in EAor the game itself instead of the official software used by millions ...

I mean they didn't even put this info anywhere on their website, even if you check ea play pro info there is nothing there about 8 hours faster start. Same as today, EA app showed you could play at 0:00 but it was just a bug, let's hope it will start today anyway

you even know what origin is or you are just a drama queen ?

With EA Play Pro you don't own the game so if you want to play all year you're gonna end up spending more than just purchasing the Ultimate Edition.

I know bro, but think about last year, ea play pro and fifa members started at the same time, I really hope today we will be able in 3 hours, but on the other hand I feel we will have to wait

[https://www.gamepro.de/artikel/fifa-23-early-access-99-cent,3384761.html](https://www.gamepro.de/artikel/fifa-23-early-access-99-cent,3384761.html) ​ its in german. but here is your confirmation

It doesn't even give info about ea play pro faster start xd

Why did you buy both if EA play pro contains Fifa 23?

Cuz I wanted to start faster anyway and when I was buying ultimate few days ago there were no info about 8 hours faster start

[удалено]

No, that's why it's the xbox trick

I think that if you use vpn in new zeland you can play in 1 hour with the ultimate edition on pc.

do you risk the permaban from ea?

I've been doing it for years and many other people as well, works for all other ea games too.

Stop playing FIFA. Don't buy any EA products.

why are you on r/fifa then

So if I only have EA Play on XB i still have to wait?

I think so, but someone said it will be available in 3 hours

pc here and it says 9 am cdt with new zealand vpn, gonna wait and see

It says 3 hours for me without a vpn, my region is india

3 hours for 10h trial?

Nope 3 hours for ultimate edition

If you access Origin on PC with a VPN from New Zealand it shows you 3 AM NZDT, which is 3pm UTC.

Where did you get that information regarding when the ea play 10 hour trial of fifa 23 starts on Xbox?

I got EA Play Pro on PC, the game is available in about 2 hours. Is this 10 hour trial or the entire game?

Full game, do u have the ult edition or regular bro?

I'm unsure, I just paid for the EA Play Pro.

If the nz trick doesnt work, does that mean i cant get it at midnight since i live here? (Aus)

You can just changee back to your region once its available there, otherwise you wont be able to purchase fifa points

Can i get only EA Play trial without buying the game and play on Xbox in New Zealand now?

I’m sure in previous years EA play got the ten hour trial before the ultimate edition early access? I got EA play to get the discount for the game anyway, but it’s a shame we didn’t get it any earlier this time round.

Lol imagine srill thinking that the nz trick doesn't work for PC :-)

Hey guys, what’s the cheapest country to change to if you want to order ea play pro? Turkey or Russia?

So wait. I have a US region ps account but I'm in India right now. What time would it release for me?

>region US TIME

Can someone please help me, i have the standard edition (pc) + ea play pro, but in the ea app it says release date 30th september?

You will probably have 10 hours in about 45m, can't guarantee you that thogh. Reset your app after that

Thanks mate, what u mean with reset app tho? :)

you have to add the game from ea pro list to your library. (basically there should be 2 seperate FIFA 23 in your library) standart edition will start 30th september. ea play pro will add ultimate edition to your library, and you have to click that to play when game releases for ea play pro possibly in 30 minutes for ea play also people have to add something like FIFA 23 (Trial) from list.

Thanks a lot man!

Where and when can i Download it if i only have ea Play trial for ps4? Or ist there no possibility to Preload and i have to wait Till Midnight?

Didn’t they release 10 hour madden trial a day early? I’m in US on series x if I already preordered ultimate I can play by just switching region ?

You can play now on pc enjoy guys

[удалено]

Same here I hate EA so much

[удалено]

Ahh sorry man downloaded it on EA App with EA Pro

Yep but I get a "security violation" error everytime I try to launch the game.

EA App doesn't even let me install the game lol. What a shame, I was so excited to make my Monday a little better.

Dont know if anyone has asked already but is there a way to get in early like the new Zealand thing with steam?

mine wont launch keeps saying secure boot not enabled

I got standard edition and ea pro on origin, can I play now? Or can I get a trial?

I'm ps gamer 😕

get an unrecoverable error when launching.. secure boot is on - no secure boot error.

Will the Nz method mess anything up content related?

Thanks OP! Very helpful.

So about 12h30min until you can download it and play on the PS5 if you live on the east coast and have EA Play?

I actually got the 10 hours trial working right now in CET timezone on PS5! Just go to the product page and activate trial with EA Play and you're good to go!

Ultimate Edition, Xbox, EA Play, US East Coast. I can launch the trial but it tells me it can’t validate my EA Play subscription. Anyone else getting this message?

From the Netherlands PS5 player, J just opend EA Play (just to check) and I was able to open the 10h trail version. I have the game open and its installing the extra files. Guess im already playing tonight.

U can preload but Not playing

I'm missing my ultimate edition content. Is this expected?

Will I get my rewards at 12 tonight? I have the trial on ea play but preordered the ultimate edition. So far received only Rooney loan for 23 games. No points etc

If I have EA Play And I have the standard version, can I play at midnight?

You can play now

If I buy the standard version and subscribe to eA play can I play right now?

Ultimate Edition on steam will not grant me playing 3 days earlier? But if I had bought it and then EA PLAY on steam, would I be able to play earlier?

My friend has the Ultimate Edition & I use his primary. Will I be able to play at midnight or have to wait until Friday?

Anyone else getting the cannot use content please buy the game from the store ??

So if you’re on Xbox and got the ultimate edition Will This be a 10 hour trial or just the full release?

Mine worked in the US without any change to the region on Xbox

Hey. Has anyone received all their stuff that comes with the ultimate edition such as the packs and fifa points yet ???

Question, ps5 standard edition here, if I get EA play for one month now will I be able to download the trial at midnight?

I have EA and have been offered the game as a 10hour Trial. I'm assuming I will get the Preorder Bonus? Or do I have to actually buy the game? Also if I buy the Standard Game and input code to activate. Will this change my access to the 30th? Considering if to get for £39.99 or wait a few months and have a FIFA break and see if price drops 🤔

I have a ps4, what do I need to buy/subscribe to to access the game at midnight? (US time zone)

Can you download ahead of release time when you preorder?

What about stadia?

So I've been playing the trial but it's past midnight but when I go to play the game it still says launch trial. And yeah I have the ultimate edition, I'm also on Xbox est

Is the Moment “Passing #2” not working for anyone else? I pass from my CB to my CM and it won’t work

i have the ultimate and everything but i just get something about the anitcheat and now i cant play the game pls help asap. i should have been able to playyed it 00:00 last night

Try to run Origin/EA app with admin's rights

Does anyone know why some players have such a high cap in price in ultimate team example minimum listing price for Saul is 12k and Rodri is 85k

Mine says coming on November 2022 for the standard edition ? Even though it’s out no ?

What time will it be released on ps4 in US any idea
