The quick answer

Cross-progression is automatic for supported linked platforms, but progress belongs to the EA Account. EA says Apex progress from two EA Accounts cannot be merged together or moved by unlinking a platform.[1]

Understand the distinction

Account linking is an ownership decision, not a routine missing-item fix. The preparation below is our recommendation for avoiding a mistaken account switch; it does not perform any account changes.[1]

Suggested checklist

  1. Identify the EA Account that holds the progress you want to use.[1]
  2. Inspect linked platforms in EA’s account portal without unlinking anything.[1]
  3. If items are missing, consult the platform exceptions and contact support before changing ownership links.[1]

Limits and next steps

Some content is platform-exclusive. Unlinking can remove access to progress and purchases; it does not transfer that history to another EA Account.[1]
