I have to unlink my Steam account
I accidiently linked wrong account and now I cant unlink it until 12.19.2025 but I have to change it to play games on steam
Forum Discussion
My currently linked account is my old Steam account. I created a new Steam account about a year ago, and I’ve been using that one since. I accidentally linked my old Steam account to my EA account, so I need help with this.

Community ManagerHi TheMajeste,
Ok, I understand the situation. To unlink your own Steam account:
- Go to the Connected Accounts tab in your EA Account settings.
- Find the account you want to unlink, and select the Unlink button next to it.
- Read the disclaimer and make sure you want to unlink, knowing all the risks.
- Check the box next to I understand and wish to continue.
- Select Unlink.
Please keep in mind that you can’t link the new Steam account to that same EA Account, even after unlinking the older Steam account. To play EA games from the new Steam account, you’ll need to create a new EA Account to link them up.

Hi TheMajeste,
It sounds like you've triggered the 6-month timer. Here's how it crops up:
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.
Make sure unlinking is the best choice for you and that you understand all the risks below before you unlink your account.
- EA Help Guide: 'Unlink your platform accounts from your EA Account'
To the best of my knowledge, there isn't a way to bypass that timer.
