EA’s Apex Legends is available on Steam, so here’s how to connect your Origin account to Steam to move your progress across, and how to log out of Apex on Steam if you so desire. 

Apex Legends is just about to hit its 11th Season, and a lot has changed in Respawn Entertainment’s battle royale since launch. It’s just about to host its fourth map and 19th legend. Along the way, EA added Apex Legends to Steam, so you can launch it directly from Valve’s platform. 

If you want to move your Apex account across and keep all of your games together, here’s how to link your Steam and Origin accounts. Alternatively, we also detail how to log out of Apex Legends on Steam.

Connecting your Apex Legends and Steam accounts is simple, as you’ll be asked to log in after launching the game. 

Here’s a step-by-step method to linking your Steam and Origin accounts: 

  1. Download Apex Legends on Steam
  2. Launch Apex Legends and follow the on-screen prompt to log in to your Origin account 
  3. That’s it! You’re logged into Apex Legends on Steam and all of your progress and cosmetics will have moved across 

You won’t notice any difference in launching it from Steam, apart from linking up with Steam friends will be much easier.

  2. Click on your profile bubble in the right hand corner
  3. Select ‘Account Settings’ 
  4. Click on ‘Connections’ at the bottom of the page 
  5. Look for ‘Steam’ under ‘Connected Accounts’
