    EA and Xbox linking problem


    Hello,

    I have a problem. I recently buy the gamepass and tried to install Battlefield 2042. Xbox requested a connection with a EA account. I have one but it connects by itself to another xbox account on my old PC and EA account can only be connected to one xbox account. So I search on internet "how to unlink account" and I made it.

    On this screenshot we can see that the old Xbox account is unlinked.

    But the problem is that Xbox app still recognize the account linked to my old Xbox account.
    Firstly, I though that was a question of time to recognize it but after nearly 10 hours and multiple relauch of Xbox app, EA app and my whole PC. It still recognize my old account.

    It's in french but it basically say:
    Linked accounts found

    Your accounts cannot be linked because the EA account for ************ has already been linked to the Xbox account for ************. An EA account can only be linked to one Xbox account throughout its existence.

    Go to https://help.ea.com/fr to learn more.

    What can I do to finally be able to install this game ?

    Sincerely,
    Fram

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community.

    According to the official EA unlinking FAQ website:

    "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."

    Unfortunately is not possible to link a different Xbox account / gamertag, only the one that you linked at the beginning

    Xbox-Steam EA linking Problem?

    Hi nonya.KW.



    Greetings!

    We very much empathize to you after reading your current post that you're having trouble with linking your Xbox and Steam EA accounts. To clarify, are you trying to link your Xbox EA account to your Steam EA account so that you can access your expansion packs on both platforms?

    On the other hand, we very much appreciate you for sharing your current concern with us. However, if we are correct that you are you trying to link your Xbox EA account to your Steam EA account so that you can access your expansion packs on both platforms.

    You may need to contact EA support for assistance with this issue. In order for you to get the most relevant answers and the best solution to your current concern. They should be able to help you unlink your Xbox EA account from your mother's email and link it to your own email instead. You can reach EA support through their website. Let me know if you have any other questions.



    You can also try checking the steps on how to link and unlink your EA account from different platforms: Linking your platform accounts to your EA Account /Unlink your platform accounts from your EA Account.
