  1. Please can Xbox create a way to remove a linked EA account from the Xbox side?


    I've recently discovered when trying to play an EA game through Gamepass ultimate on my PC that my Xbox account was already linked to a very old and forgotten about EA account (probably created on the 360 when playing Mass Effect and used for nothing else) that I cannot access due to the email address now being deactivated; so i cannot receive any verification emails and make any changes.

    The only way that i can see to currently recover that account to be able to change it, is through EA and answering some impossible questions for an account that's not been active for 10+ years. I tried multiple times but they cannot verify me even though i sent them a screenshot of it logged in and all my current EA & xbox information i could think of.

    I don't even want recover the account, it can disappear into oblivion, I just want to unlink it from my Xbox account so i can link my current EA account, but i cannot do this from the Xbox side.

    So for now, i permanently have an unusable and unlinkable EA account linked to my xbox and i cannot utilize the EA games through my subscription.

    My XBOX Game Pass PC account is tied to unknown EA Account's email that is not mine.

    Hi Yeenoiz. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

    The account connection is created on EA's side, therefore it can only be unlinked from EA's side.

    When signing in to the EA website, choose to login with your Xbox profile. This should allow you to access the linked EA account.

    https://www.ea.com/login

    If you can get into the account, follow the steps on EA's help page to unlink the account: https://help.ea.com/help/account/unlink-gaming-accounts-from-ea-account/

    For further help with recovering access to the account and unlinking it from your Xbox profile, please contact EA. You can find more info on how to set up a case with EA at the EA Help website: https://help.ea.com/help/faq/contact-ea-help/

    Thanks,
    Kyle

    Gamepass PC - EA Linking doesn't work

    I have exactly the same problem. I don't even know what EA account has been linked to my Xbox account. I can't even tell you if it's mine. I've been gaming online since the 90s and I suspect at some point EA have acquired a game title for which I have an account and it's been linked to my Xbox account.

    EA tell me the account is "deleted" but won't remove the Xbox link. It's a ridiculous situation and I can't link Xbox to my real EA account while the current link exists. The link between Xbox and EA should be a 2-way agreement where it can be severed from either side. I've been on to EA reps for 5 hours. They really are awful.

    As it stands I can't ever play EA games through Game Pass and I'm cancelling my membership until there is a better solution in place.

    Your XBox and EA Accounts Don't Match" - Hacked Account, or EA/MS Scam?

    when you load an ea game on the xbox console be it 360 or one and dont log into an ea account it usually creates one, you can log into ea with an xbox account or email, it is a daft system.

    you need to log into ea with your xbox account and remove the link then log into your normal ea account with the email address and then link.

    if you cannot do it then open a ticket with EA for assistance.

    linking up xbox game tag to EA account

    If the account is not linked to an EA account you can create another EA account and link your Xbox account with it.

    There has to be a another way to unlink an EA account from my Xbox account

    Hi Isaac! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

    It's not possible to unlink the accounts from Xbox side, as this accounts are linked from the EA side, you need to have access to the EA account linked or the account information unfortunately
