Linking Your Gamertag, PSN ID, and Origin Account
The Xbox 360/Xbox One and the PlayStation 3/PlayStation 4/PlayStation Vita both use their own types of account for managing your games and online interactions; Gamertag for Xbox, and PSN ID for Playstation.
For EA games, these accounts should be linked to your Origin account.
Note for Next Gen Consoles: Your gamertag or PSN ID carries over from Xbox 360/PS3 to Xbox One/PS4.
If you have played any EA game on the last generation of consoles, please make sure you find and use that same account when you play on next gen.
Linking your accounts:
Your Gamertag/PSN ID and Origin Account should be correctly linked when you first access an EA game online if you use the same email address for both.
We recommend that you check your Origin account to ensure your emails match.
If the email address for your Gamertag/PSN/PSVita ID is different than the address for your Origin account, connect them using the steps below:
- Open the Origin client and click the Friends button, then Add a Friend. If you do not have the Origin client installed, you can download Origin for both PC and Mac.
- In the Import Friends menu, you can choose to "connect" your Xbox LIVE, PSN, and EA accounts. Simply sign in with your account details to connect.
If you have issues connecting your account, you will need to properly link them by contacting a Game Advisor.
Did you forget if your Origin/EA Account is linked to your Gamertag/PSN ID?
This does not work. If you select from the "Friends" drop down, it will give you the option to add a friend, but does not provide an xbox button to sign into xbox live to link accounts and find friends.
Furthermore, you FAQs are unhelpful in that it says, "If you’ve made your EA Account using a different email address, you should still be able to sign into your EA account when you log into an EA game and access our servers." However, it does not explain how to sign into the EA account when I log into an EA game on xbox live. Specifically, I'm trying to play Battlefield 1.
Can you help?

Hello @abuyates81
The ability to change your EA Account in game is not available in Battlefield 1. You can play only with one account, connected with your Gamertag.
