Hey all, I've been trying to look at what would happen if I unlinked my Xbox account from my brother's ea account and linked it to mine, I don't want him to lose his FIFA progress and I've read there are risks regarding game progression.
He plays FIFA on Steam not on Xbox so I'm really just wondering if he'd lose everything? Or I'm just overthinking it and he loses nothing at all there isn't really any solid information on this so I've come here I hope one of you can help :)
When you unlink platform accounts from an EA account there are risks associated with that. You can find further information on this article: https://help.ea.com/sg/help/account/unlink-gaming-accounts-from-ea-account/
Unlinking risks for EA SPORTS FC™ players
If you unlink a platform account that you use to play EA SPORTS FC™, and that account is still set as active in the Web and Companion Apps, you’ll lose access to the apps entirely.
If you have more than one platform account on your EA Account that you use to play EA SPORTS FC™, you can change which one is active in the Web and Companion Apps to greatly reduce the risk of losing access to the apps.
When we say greatly reduced, we don’t mean the risk is eliminated. If you want to make sure you can always access the Web and Companion Apps, don’t unlink your platform accounts.
If you’re sure you’re okay with this risk, here’s how to switch accounts in the apps:
Sign in to the Web App or Companion App.
Select Settings.
At the top right, select Change beside the platform icon.
Choose the platform account you want to set as active—it shouldn’t be the one you’re planning to unlink.
