Re: How to link Origin account on steam ?

Just a return, I have finally successfully linked my Origin account with my steam account.

I have contacted the ea support (after login in with my steam account) :

https://help.ea.com/en/contact-us/?product=apex-legends&community=true&platform=pc

I have selected "Manage my account" and then "Account linking" in order to contact them.

The problem was that I also had NFS Heat and didn't remember that I had link and old Origin account to my steam account at this moment. That was why I wasn't asked to connect to my Origin account when launching Apex on Steam.

So in fact my problem was that I had already an Origin account linked to my steam account.

The support deleted the link, and at the next start of Apex from Steam I was asked to connect to my Origin account.

Hope this help some people !

    I'm glad you've already been able to link your Steam account to Origin.

    Had the same problem and got it working without support.

    Key to the solution was, that I had to login on ea.com using the "login via steam".

    then in account settings, unlinking steam:

    https://myaccount.ea.com/cp-ui/connectaccounts/index

    after that, firing up Apex via steam, i got ingame the "you need an account" message and a login prompt.

    There I simply used my ea.com/origin login infos and got my account back!
