Question about account merging

Heya,

Account merging already happened when cross progression came out, this means that all currencies, cosmetics and all that kind of stuff would've already been merged if your platform accounts (e.g. Steam, PSN) were linked to the same EA Account.

If your data was not merged, then this means your Steam account is linked to a different EA Account than the one your PSN account is linked to.

This is because all data related to Apex Legends is stored on the EA Account and not on the Platform accounts themselves.
This means that it's not possible to merge the data from your Steam & PSN accounts if they are linked to different EA Accounts.

Relinking one of your platform accounts to another EA Account will allow you to access the progress of that EA Account with that specific Platform Account, but you won't be able to access the data from the EA Account it was previously linked to via that Platform account.

Here's an illustration:

In this case you have your Steam and PSN Account linked to separate EA Accounts.
Let's say this:
Account #1: 4 skins (Can be accessed via Steam)
Account #2: 7 skins (Can be accessed via PSN)

You decide to relink your steam account to Account #2:

Now this is the situation:
Account #1: 4 skins
Account #2: 7 skins (Can be accessed via Steam & PSN)

This means that the progress is kept on Account #1, but is no longer accessible via Steam as it has been relinked to Account #2.
The same applies to any currency and any other form of in-game content.

So if I have 2 EA apex accounts, can I unlink and link steam to them freely so I that can change accounts without losing account progress?

You could do that yes, but keep in mind that the Steam account will only be able to access the progress of the account it's connected to. So Relinking it from Account #1 to Account #2 means you will be able to access the content from Account #2 but not from Account #1 unless you were to link the Steam account back to Account #1.

Though if you want to be able to freely change between accounts, I'd recommend downloading Apex on the EA App, that way you only have to sign into the other EA Account instead of having to relink a Steam account constantly between 2 EA Accounts.

It's also important to keep in mind that whenever you relink a platform account that it's possible that you won't be able to relink it again for a period of some months. So if you were to relink your Steam account from Account #1 to Account #2, you would likely not be able to link it back to Account #1 for some months. Hence why I'd recommend downloading Apex on the EA App so you only have to switch EA Accounts to access the different progress.
