this profile is already logged in on another device

We are 2 different person with the same ea account (one on ps4 other on pc). When you merged the accounts i have asked you (on ea help) how it was going to work. you said that we could both still play with one another.

Now i can´t even enter the game it says "this profile is already logged in on another device". Even when the ps4 is switched off i still can´t play my game in the pc.

what could i do?

Ps4 - LAR2725

PC - Anokas

  • @Ladyanokas I have the same problem i unlinked accounts and linked to play with the progress from my ps4 and now when i try to play it says “this profile is alredy logged in on another device”
  • I'm having the same problem. I linked my switch account to my PS4 account about a week ago, but only logged in to the PS4 account after the link for the first time today. Now I can't get back into the switch account even with the PS4 completely shut off and my account logged out of the PS Network. Is there anyway to fix this??

  • I have the same problem, I had an account on Nintendo Switch, now, when Im not even with the Switch turned on, it says ''this profile is already logged in on another device'', please EA, fix this, or at least give us a simple answer

  • This happened to me recently, but I'm just posting this to let others know it will work itself out within an hour or so no need to unlink accounts and panic, etc. You don't want to introduce a new issue trying to troubleshoot this one.

    I've been playing Apex on my Xbox for years and recently got a PS5. I decided to log into thanks to cross progression. After a few weeks of playing on PS5, I find that I'm no longer able to log into my Xbox version despite having turned the PS5 version recently.

    Respawn, would be nice to have the lag time shortened between different machine logins. It should be such that any gamer can instantly shut one system down to jump on the next seemlessly. Please continue to improve that.

    Thanks.

  • Thanks for that dude. I just started playing on my PS5 for a bit because my daughter was using my Xbox to play Minecraft. When i got back on an hour later I got the message that another device is logged in. I freaked out, but seeing your reply gave me a sign of relief. Fingers crossed it works itself out.

    @PapaPonchoo I get the same message when switching between my PC and Switch.

    The way I've found to quickly switch between the two platforms is to do the following:

    1) Whichever platform is logged in, return to the main menu of the game and wait a few seconds
    2) With the first platform still on the main menu, boot up the game on the other platform, and it should let you jump into the game
