Re: I want to bind my steam account

Hey @Frjals,

Have you previously had a Steam account linked to your EA account? If so, EA accounts can only be linked to one of a specific type of account in its lifetime. You'll still be able to relink your old Steam account, but you won't be able to link a new one. If you look at the following article:

https://help.ea.com/en/help/account/unlink-gaming-accounts-from-ea-account/

  • 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.

That includes other account types too, like PlayStation, Steam, etc.

    Thank you very much for your reply! I did associate other steam accounts before, so I want to know how soon I can bind a new account. Now I can't use steam to log in to play with my friends

    @Frjals,

    You won't be able to link your current EA account to your Steam account, unfortunately. They're only ever able to be linked to one account from a specific platform in their lifetimes. If you want to play via that Steam account, then I recommend that you make a new EA account and link it there.
