Community ManagerSorry, I’m not entirely sure I understand your request. Are you trying to change the email address on your EA account, or are you trying to unlink the Xbox account from the EA account belonging to the console’s original owner?
If it’s the latter, I’m afraid only the original owner can handle that.
I need to unlink the account that came with the xbox i bought. Since you cant unlink my xbox without the original owner, will i never be able to play an EA game on my console?

How did you purchase the game you already own? Was it purchased using this Xbox account that originally didn’t belong to you?
I purchased the game on the Microsoft store with the gamertag i've had for over 10 years but since the xbox is used, it has someone elses EA account on it, since those stay with the xbox.
