Linking account mishap BF6

So I don’t know if I’ve done it wrong or what but I’ve played Battlefield 6 on Xbox originally and had some buddies that play PC and I was wanting to play with them so got BF6 on PC and was hoping I could just transfer my progress over from Xbox but when I linked my account it wiped my Xbox progression. I don’t know if I just didn’t sign into my account when loading up battlefield or what but I’m wondering if there is a way to unlink the accounts so I could at the very least keep my Xbox progress and just start new on PC.

Thanks in advance.

    Hey lncitefear​ you can find all the info around unlinking accounts here: https://help.ea.com/en/articles/ea-account/unlink-ea-account/

    When you link accounts, it creates a lifetime link to protect you from malicious activity and help prevent performance issues in your games.

    You can unlink your platform accounts from your EA Account if you want to link them to a different EA Account, as long as that EA Account has never had the same account type linked to it before in its lifetime.

    That means if you unlink an Xbox gamertag from your EA Account, you can’t link a different Xbox gamertag to it in the future.

    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

    I appreciate the response! I’ve read that and everything I just made the wrong decision when going through the linking process and I was hoping to get ahold of someone that could by pass the 6 month period to unlink them. After looking further into it I seems that’s not the case even if I’m the one that owns the accounts

    My main goal was to keep the progress I had on Xbox and continue playing that same account on pc but I guess that’s not how that works?

    Wish I had better news lncitefear​ but this is one of those times where there is nothing we can do.

    Roger that. I appreciate you keeping up with me! At the end of the day I should’ve looked further into what I was doing and double checked before I clicked anything. Thanks again for answering my questions
