Does the BF4 Premium I purchased on PS4 still work on the Xbone copy?

I bought BF4 for the PS4 at launch, and a few weeks ago I bought Premium to go along with it.

However, I just got an Xbox One, and a copy of BF4 for that also (turns out most of my friends are on Xbone).

I assumed once I fired up BF4 on the Xbone, it would pass my email/origin address through to EA’s servers and just enable Premium there. Not so.

Is Premium a platform-locked service? I thought it was an EA level service, registered against one’s EA Origin account… But I only see an option to buy premium on the xbox one menu. Would I have to buy Premium for each platform? If so, I ain’t.

hmmm, I don’t think it jumps like that

It would go from a PS3 to PS4 and from a 360 to XB1, but not between a PC and a PS4 or XB1 or a PS4 to XB1.

I suggest you sell your PS4 BF copy and use the cash to buy XB1 Premium.

BTW, why do you have both consoles? And didn’t you know which one all your friends would buy?

Thanks for the help there.

Me having both consoles is a long story, but I’d originally sworn allegiance to Sony. It became apparent over the last few weeks that my PS4 buddies don’t play BF4, while my XBone friends do.

Also Titanfall :smiley:

Edit: the PS4 version of BF4 is way, way, waay better than the XBone’s. At this point I’m thinking of just keeping both versions.

We’ll, worst case, wait for a premium sale or discount

A bit off topic, but I had never seen it called the XBone. This might be common. I dunno. But it made me laugh. I know. No karma for self posts. But that made my day man. Thanks.

Yeah, exactly. Thanks again :slight_smile:

XBone is affectionately used as common parlance these days it think, but I’m glad I gave someone a chuckle.

It’s all good

It did. Thanks!
