Registering my Steam game on Origin by xBritt. Zombies Plants vs. Zombies 2 Plants vs. While Valve offers a list of games that can be imported into Steam this way, EA leaves the bulk of the guesswork up to you — or us, which is the purpose of this article.

But first — how to acquire a CD key from Steam? In the example below, we can see that Crysis 2 : Maximum Edition is one such title that does. Also, some games might offer more than one key; either two codes that do the same thing but are available in two formats, or extra codes for DLC. For games released in or earlier, another website referenced below might be required for registration. There, you simply put in your CD key and account credentials, and if all goes well, the site will confirm the title to be added to the account.

If for some reason this gets you nowhere, contact Origin customer support and good luck. Click here to jump to that post.

In the case of Dragon Age 2, once the product key key had been validated on Origin, it was possible to launch the Steam version of the game from the Origin client, complete with Steam overlay and chat functions. Not all of the keys we tried worked.
