Risk of Unlinking PSN ID from EA Account

[Faker666zzz]

Well I'm trying to unlink my PSN ID from EA account, currently I am playing Mass Effect Andromeda using my current PSN ID. Is there any risk of unlinking the PSN ID from the EA account? I dont mind losing progress but I dont want to lose access to EA games I purchased

Hi @Faker666zzz, 

If you own the game on your PSN account you shouldn't lose access to it if you unlink the PSN ID from your EA Account. When you start the game after unlinking you will be asked to connect it with an EA Account again. 

Unlinking the accounts may cause you to lose progress in some games where your account data is stored on the servers. In cases like this I'm afraid we wouldn't have a way of recovering that lost progress.

Yep, exactly. Local saves wouldn't be affected. Just the data stored on the servers.
