The progress boundary is the EA Account

EA's current help article says Apex progress is permanently tied to the EA Account. Cross Progression lets linked platforms access the associated profile, but it does not migrate progress from one EA Account to another or combine Apex profiles across EA Accounts.

Check before unlinking or starting on another platform

The checklist below is deliberately account-blind. It helps identify assumptions that need to be verified in EA's Account Portal; it cannot tell which email or profile owns your inventory.

  1. Open EA Account Portal directly and record privately which EA Account is linked to each platform account.
  2. Confirm the EA Account that contains the progress you want. Do not enter passwords, email addresses or Public IDs in this site.
  3. If you have multiple EA Accounts, do not expect Apex profiles or purchases to merge between them.
  4. If you already unlinked, EA says relinking to the original EA Account can restore access; do not substitute another EA Account assuming it will carry progress.
  5. For inaccessible or mismatched links, contact EA Support before repeating unlink/relink actions. Keep receipts and account identifiers private.

What this local account-risk check can and cannot decide

It can highlight whether your self-reported situation is low-risk to review, uncertain, or a stop-and-contact-support case. It cannot validate account ownership, restore content, detect bans, determine cross-platform currency exceptions, or predict a support outcome.

Keep community account advice separate from official recovery

EA Forums can help identify whether other players have seen a similar symptom, but posts are user-generated and may describe a different platform, account history or season. Treat them as leads, not proof that unlinking is safe or that progress can be transferred.

I unlinked the wrong account—what should I do?
