How do I unlink an origin account from an xbox live account?

★★★ Newbie

My email that use to be assigned to my Origin account was deleted, and I need to know how to unlink the account from my Xbox 360/Xbox Account, and then link my new account (the one I am using now) with the Xbox Account.

 

Please reply.

Hi, unlinking accounts is currently only possible for Game Advisors. Please contact one of them via live chat or phone at https://help.ea.com/contact-us for further assistance. 

Also on a general note, you should not create a new account, all your game entitlements are tied to your account and by simply changing to a new account you might lose access to all your previous games. If the email address for your account is no longer in use, you can get it changed to a new one by contacting a Game Advisor.

In this case I would strongly suggest to get the email address of your old account changed to a new one, instead of continue playing with the newly created Origin account.

I did try and contact one on three occasions, but I was hung up on before I could even finish a sentance each and every single time.

I'm sorry to hear that and I apologize for the poor experience you've had so far! I'm pretty sure that this was not on purpose, more likely a technical difficulty.

May I ask you to give it another try, maybe you could use live chat instead. I realize it's probably not the easiest thing right now, asking you to try it again, but unfortunately, only a Game Advisor can assist you further with this account inquiry. 

 

Thank you very much and please come back to us immediately should there be any further issues.

Kevin you can connect more than one Xbox live gamertag to your origin account, you can simply add your new one and do not have to remove your brother's account.
