Re: Link a new platform account

Hi @Jackfff-07,

You can find instructions on how to link and unlink accounts here: Unlink your platform accounts from your EA Account & Linking your platform accounts to your EA Account.

Please note that, 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.

Unlinking risks for Apex players

If you unlink a platform account that you use to play Apex Legends, you might have issues with Battle Pass leveling, item unlocks, and other errors.

Instead of unlinking and relinking a platform account you play Apex on, we recommend starting fresh on a new account.

    @EA_cuervo Why don't I have the option to contact online customer service? I really need your help to link to my new Xbox account and Twitch account. This account has instilled my money and hard work. I really don't want to create a new account. Please help me. Thank you.

    @EA_cuervo Even if there is a relevant screen, the customer service window still cannot pop up, even if I have logged in.

    Could you please try using incognito mode to see if the chat appears?

    @EA_cuervo No, it seems that ea has restricted me from finding online customer service. I have sent an email to report my problem.

    @Jackfff-07 I can assist you with instructions on how to unlink the accounts yourself as we're unable to make any account changes for you here at AHQ. If you follow the steps on this article you should be able to unlink your Twitch and Xbox accounts: Unlink your platform accounts from your EA Account

    Let me know if you have any issues unlinking the accounts.
