Linking EA Account to a new steam account

Now, i have an EA account that is linked to a shared steam account. My question is, now that im making a seperate steam account, just for me, if i unlink this EA account from the shared account ,will I be able to relink it to the new account?

Thank you!

  • Hey @SimmieGoose,

    Unfortunatly, if you look at our unlinking article:


    When you link accounts, it creates a lifetime link to protect you from malicious activity and help prevent performance issues in your games.

    You can unlink your platform accounts from your EA Account if you want to link them to a different EA Account, as long as that EA Account has never had the same account type linked to it before in its lifetime.

    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.


    Unfortunately that means that you won't be able to link a new Steam account, even if you unlink this one.
