Change account

I lost my old account. And wanted to make a new one and link it to this ea account so I can play games but sadly it say only 1 account can be linked to a ea account permanently and I wanna link a new account

  • Hi Kvvnss​

    It's true, only 1 of each account type can be linked to an EA account during its lifetime. So, for example, if you've already linked an Xbox gamertag from your EA Account, you won't be able to link a second Xbox gamertag to it, even if you remove the first one linked up. It's designed in this way to protect you from malicious activity and help prevent performance issues in your games.

    There isn't a way around this. Our EA Help guide is a good source on this subject:

     

    Is there any reason you want to like a second account type to your EA account? What account type were you trying to link up? Are you having issues logging into your existing account type already linked to your EA account?

    Hi Kvvnss​,

    It looks like things have gone quiet here, so I'll close this thread.

    Thanks,
