You can unlink your platform accounts from your EA Account if you want to link them to a different EA Account, as long as your EA Account has never had the same account type linked to it before. That means if you unlink an Xbox gamertag from your EA Account, you can’t link a different Xbox gamertag to it in the future.

I can’t log in to my EA Account from PlayStation®, Xbox, or Switch
If it’s been a while since you played an EA game, try logging into your EA Account from your computer or mobile device.

How can I check if I already have an EA Account?
You should already have an EA Account if you’ve bought games from our store, or played an EA game online with your platform.

Can I link multiple platform account IDs?
