Incorrect PlayStation Account shown/used in-game in BF6 Open Beta

I have two PlayStation accounts with different names, and both are connected/linked to my EA account. For simplicity here, I'll say their names are PrimaryPSN and SecondaryPSN.

I've pre-loaded the BF6 Open Beta. When launching it with my PS5 console signed in as PrimaryPSN, I opened the EA connect page by pressing R2. In it, the game displays my name SecondaryPSN in the top right corner and under the Party tab, and when selecting "Player Actions" and "View profile on PlayStation Network". However under the Friends tab, it shows friends of PrimaryPSN as it should. If I log my PS5 console in as SecondaryPSN, the opposite happens: the game displays me as PrimaryPSN.

During the Beta period, this isn't much of an issue for me as long as I can play under one name or the other. However I certainly want to play the full game under the proper PrimaryPSN name, and I'd like all of the Open Beta participation rewards I will have unlocked to be available on PrimaryPSN. Worse comes to worst I'll try unlocking them on both accounts.

  • I've got the same issue! But the weirdest part is that my second account was never logged in on my PS5.

    Hope they can fix this.

    Somehow mine and my friends in game accounts got swapped on bf6. When I load in (logged in on my ps account), it says I'm him and vise versa. But we go to any other bf game and everything is the way it should be. Neither of us have any idea what's going on. Even weirder is that when I log into ea forums by using the ps option, it logged me into his but anything else I login into using the ps option will take me to my stuff

  • There's another thread with the same issue here: Bug PS5: Game does not show the right profile in social | EA Forums - 12414812

    For those who've gotten in to the beta already, you'll have probably realized this issue isn't much to worry about. The proper name is displayed in the kill feed & scoreboard. The incorrect name is only displayed in the EA Connect pages (press R2). Unlocks and progression gained while on one PSN account also unlock and progress on the other PSN account, so it seems to be tied to our EA accounts. So, no issue there.
