Steam Account Linked to New EA Email by Mistake (Need to Re-Link to Original)

Hey there, once you unlink a platform account from your EA Account and link it to a new one, you can’t unlink it again for six months.

For your Apex account, the progress is saved on your EA account. So if you still have access to the EA account where your Steam was linked to, you can try to download the game on your EA app and log in with the EA account that was linked to your Steam account previously. Then download Apex Legends through the EA app and check if your progress is still there. It's not guaranteed that you will be able to recover the progress as the accounts have been linked, but it's worth checking it. 

I’ve tried everything, but I still can’t log into my main profile. It says that my email is already in use and that I need to wait until February 2026 before I can unlink it. Could you please explain why the system is designed this way? Is there really no way to speed up this process?

What I need is for my new email to be unlinked, so I can link it back to my old email. I can provide any personal details or verification documents required to prove ownership of my account.

I understand it was my own mistake linking my Steam account with the wrong email, but does this mean I risk losing access to my entire profile if I try to go back to my old email? That seems very concerning, especially since I’ve spent money on battle passes and skins. It feels unfair that, aside from being banned, I could also lose everything just because of an accidental email link.

If you don't have access to the EA account where your Steam was previously linked to, you can try contacting EA Help for further assistance. In regard to your question about the account linking, you can find further information here. 

Currently, I am writing from my old email account, which is linked to my Apex Legends profile. Unfortunately, I am unable to link this profile to my Steam account, because my Steam is already linked to another EA account under my new email.

As you mentioned before, in order to link my Apex Legends profile back, I would first need to unlink it from my new email account. However, due to your account linking rules, I am required to wait six months before I can perform this action.

I submitted a ticket to EA Help about two weeks ago, but I have not received any response yet

Have you tried downloading the game on your EA app with your old EA account to see if you can access your account progress?
