In installing an EA Play game kindly install an EA Desktop App and then make sure that the correct EA account is signed in. You will be installing EA games on EA Desktop App.

Don't have ea play installed

I had the exact same issue. I found the best way to go about it is to not use the Xbox app to install ea play titles. when it has you install the ea desktop beta app the first time you try to install an ea play game do that. then open it and log in with your Xbox account. From there you can search and download any ea play game from within that app. And it works better than the Xbox app as well. Enjoy playing and have a great day!

Thank you for the update. Kindly try and install a free game on EA Desktop App such as Apex Legends and once it started please stop the installation then try to install any EA play games again.
