[Apex Legends Steam] linking a different EA account to steam

[BigBadWolfjr0]

Hi EA, 

I have two different EA accounts, one for Xbox, and one for PC. I want to unlink my Steam EA account so both my Xbox and PC are on the same EA account. But if I do this will all my games progress be lost or will only the games that are published/developed by EA lose their progress?

I am doing this because I want to play my Xbox Apex legends account on my PC, and it doesn't matter to me if I lose my progress for Apex on my PC account.

Does anyone know the best solution for this? 

Anything helps!

Hey @BigBadWolfjr0 

So your accounts would like something like this:

EA Account 1: Xbox Account, Xbox Progress

EA Account 2: Steam Account, Steam Progress

If you wish to unlink your Steam account from its EA account to connect it to the EA account on the Xbox is one, you can do so however you will not be able to take your progress and items with you as they are stored at the EA account level (not the platform account) so when you unlink an account you do not take your progress/items with you. 

It would look like:

EA Account 1: Xbox Account, Xbox Progress, Steam Account

EA Account 2: Steam Progress
