Need Help Unlinking Old Email from EA Account Connected to Steam

Hello EA Support and Community,

I’m reaching out for urgent assistance with my EA account, as I’m unable to access my purchased games due to an outdated email linked through Steam. My case number is #225165636, and I haven’t received a response yet. I’m hoping to get some help or visibility here.

Issue Details:
My EA account is automatically linked to an old email address that I no longer have access to. This happened when I installed EA games through Steam, which auto-connected to my old account. I want to completely unlink this old email and link my EA account to my current email address, which I’ve been using for years. However, I can’t update the email because verification codes are being sent to the inaccessible old email.

What I Need:

Unlink my old email from my EA account and Steam.
Link my current email to my EA account so I can access my games.
I’m okay with losing any old save files or progress tied to the old email—just please help me resolve this so I can play the games I’ve paid for.

Additional Info:

I’ve already submitted a support case (#225165636), but I’m still waiting for a response.
I can provide proof of ownership or any additional verification needed (e.g., via phone call or other methods).

This issue is preventing me from accessing my games, and it feels like I’m locked out of my own purchases. Please, EA Support, prioritize this case or guide me on how to resolve this. Any help from the community would also be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
redhatmarcello

    Hi redhatmarcello​

    Thanks for explaining so clearly what challenges you've encountered with the EA account. 

    I'm not sure unlinking would be the best available option for you. When you unlink a Steam account from your EA Account, you can link it to another EA Account, but your in-game progress will not transfer over. Please see these EA Help guides for more about unlinking and Steam:

     

    Before opting for that, our support team could help you update the information on your EA account to reflect an accessible email address. You mentioned you've opened a case with them, and that's good. If a few days have passed without a response to your case, contact the support team again by creating a new case and referencing the case number (#225165636). They'll get up to speed right away.
