How do i link Origin with my Xbox Live Gamertag

After about an hour of trying to make sense of EA's shady attempt at customer support, i gave up on their **bleep**e maze of useless answers and dead links.

Can anyone on here give me actual help on how i can link my Gamertag and origin account so i can FINALLY access my battlelog?

Would be much appreciated troops !

  • In order to link a gamertag or PSN ID to your Origin account, you need to do this:

    1. Log in to your Origin account

    2. Click Friends -> Add a friend in the menu bar

    3. The pop-up will give you the option to connect to Facebook, XBOX Live or Playstation Network. Choose your preferred option

    4. Fill in your log-in details and follow the steps on screen

    You're good to go. If you are unable to connect, it could be a temporary issue with the servers. Try again later and if the issue persists for more than 24 hours, contact EA support.

    If everything went fine, then you should be able to see your Xbox or PSN account listed under Connected Accounts in your account management page (click Account and Privacy in the menu bar).

    EA fails to point out that you have to install the PC client in order to do this. It will not work from the web client. Sad.

    But after spending several hours trying to get this to work, I encountered an error that my account was already linked, although in account and privacy settings only my PS3 is listed, nothing from MS or xbox. complete BS and support is subpar at best. I called EA helpless desk. He says to log into my xbox site and there will be a list of games I have played.... Nope nodda. He acts as if thats my fault.

    Then he tells me that the only way I can then validate my account is to download a demo EA game to my xbox1 and play it for 1/2 hour. I'm not sure WTF that will do but I am trying that. Like I want more of their POS games...

    It used to be that I wasnt concenred so much with what company produced the games I played, I am starting to rethink that.
