If you’re seeing “Sign in with your EA Account to activate”, it usually happens when you’re trying to launch an EA game (like FIFA, Madden, Battlefield, etc.) and it requires you to link or sign into your EA Account — either on Steam, Epic Games, Xbox, PlayStation, or directly on EA Desktop/EA App.
🔑 What This Means
You’re being asked to:
Sign in to your EA Account, and
Possibly link it with your gaming platform (e.g., Steam, PSN, Xbox).
This is required for authentication, game activation, cloud saves, online multiplayer, etc.
✅ How to Fix / Complete Activation
🖥️ On PC (Steam / Epic Games)
Launch the game from Steam or Epic.
A prompt will appear saying:
“Sign in with your EA Account to activate the game”
Click the prompt — it should launch the EA App (formerly Origin).
Sign in with your EA Account.
If it’s your first time, it will ask to link your Steam/Epic account to your EA account.
Once linked, the game should launch normally.
💡 If the EA App doesn’t open, try launching it manually and logging in first, then relaunch the game.

🎮 On Console (Xbox / PlayStation)
Start the EA game (like FC 24, Madden, etc.).
When prompted, sign in with your EA Account.
If it’s your first time, it may auto-detect your console account and link it.
If it says “this account is already linked to another EA account”:
You’ll need to go to https://myaccount.ea.com and unlink/relink your accounts under Connections.
