Hi bob22367
From what you’ve described, it sounds like your email is already tied to an existing EA account, which is already linked to a different Steam account. Can you remember playing EA games from a different Steam account in the past? There might be games and saves you own tied to it. Best to double-check before untethering the link to limit any unnecessary loss (loss of access, progress, and purchases).
You can unlink it from your EA account, but before disconnecting it, please know:
- EA accounts can only have one of each account type linked to them in their lifetime
- For example, one Xbox, one PlayStation, one Steam
- Removing an existing link won't free up the EA account to be linked to a new account of the same kind.
- For example, removing an older Steam account does not allow a new Steam account to be linked in its place.
Before opting to remove the link, I'd recommend checking out our help guide on this:
If you'd still like to remove the other Steam account from that EA account, knowing the risks, log into the EA account using the same email address and head to the Connected Accounts tab in your EA Account settings. Here you'll see the name of the Steam account that was linked up.
