Registering steam games on origin (solved)

[Zoe Castillo]

So having some time off I've decided to go back to mirrors edge and 3 star all the change maps . only to discover that there have been some DLC added since I've first played it . unfortunately the DLC is only available though origin and I've bought the game on steam . is there any way to register my steam games onto an origin account ?

It's been a while but I'm pretty sure I bought Mass Effect on steam originally, and transferred it to Origin when I got 2. I think there's a bit about it in the origins FAQ someplace.

I'm going by memory since I can't access either from here, but I think you can put your Steam product-key into Origin and activate it that way.

I know how everyone hates seeing a solved thread where the OP doesn?t actually explain how he solved it so here it goes ?

1) look up the serial codes / CD key in your retail game box or by right licking on the game in the steam menu
(if like me your game doesn?t have a CD key im afraid you are shit out of luck?.. contact steam customer support and pray to your lucky stars they will give you a code)
2) make an origin account ( you don?t even have to download the client) and go to Redeem Product Code
3) enter the code and you'll be given a menu, select the game and you should be good to go ?

Spoiler: here a list of games that this works on
