Hey @dyxzw1,

Progress is stored on the EA account level, not on individual platforms like PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, etc. This means if you link your platform to a different EA account, you'll lose access to that progress.

Unlinking your account does not allow you to transfer progress, it will result in lost progress. Please see our unlinking article here for more information regarding the warning that appears during the unlink process.

There is not a way to transfer progress from one EA account to a different EA account. Cross Progression simply allows you to access the content of one EA account with platforms connected to that same account.

We have some additional information about this particular situation in our blog and guides below, but if you have any issues re-linking your original accounts please reach back out to support so they can help get your platform account back to its original EA account.

Thanks for answering me, I understand now, but is there no way to recover my progress?

Hi @dyxzw1,

You would need to try re-linking your PlayStation account back to its original EA Account.

If that was linked to that account back when Cross Progression was implemented last year and just recently unlinked to try moving it, you'll likely be able to restore access to that progress by re-linking the original accounts.

  Hello, I really appreciate your help but one last question when I want to link my PlayStation account with the original EA account I can't since the PlayStation account is linked to the new EA account and to unlink the PlayStation account from the new EA account It asks me to wait a few months. Is there any way to shorten the waiting time or unlink it before that time?
  If I delete the EA account it will automatically unlink or not?

    Hi @dyxzw1,
    
    It would be best to reach out to the support team directly using the link on the previous page of this thread.
    
    They would be able to take a look and see if there's any other way to get that link moved for you before that 6-month timer is up.
    
    Deleting the account would not free up any linked platforms.
