How to link Apex Legends account with the EA Account

Apex Legends is one of the industry's most popular battle royale games developed by Respawn Entertainment, a studio under Electronic Arts. The title features a fast-paced, squad-based BR experience. Since EA is the game's publisher, players must link their active platform account with their EA account to play online.

Furthermore, the title allows cross-platform play but not cross-progression. Thus, players cannot play Apex Legends on multiple platforms using the same account. If users want to change platforms, they must link their EA account to the platform they are moving to.

How to verify that your Apex Legends and EA accounts are successfully linked?

To check whether the accounts are linked, visit the Connection page in the EA account setting or simply click myaccount.ea.com.

Can you link multiple platform account IDs to your EA account?

The answer is no. An EA account will only allow you to link one platform account at a time. This means you must create a new EA Account to link to your additional platform accounts since you can't link a single EA Account to two PlayStation Network IDs. An alert stating "Linked accounts found" will appear if you try linking multiple accounts.

If you already have numerous platform accounts linked to an EA Account, they will remain linked, but you cannot link more. It is advised that you select preferred accounts when linking them together.
