How do I link my EA account with my Twitch account?
- Twitch Drops are available only for PS4, Xbox One, and PC
- You need a Twitch account and a FUT account with EA
- Link your accounts by following this link to Twitch Linking
- There you must first log in to Twitch, then authorize the link, then log in to EA, afterwards enter a security code that you will receive via email, and then link the accounts. Each of these steps basically consists of a mouse click.
- That’s it. You can view the connection in the Twitch settings under “Other Connections”.
- When you watch the livestream, make sure that the correct Twitch account is linked to the correct EA account and that you are also logged into Twitch. That way, you can grab the bonuses.
Help, I didn’t understand any of this! The above information is without guarantee, and you must decide for yourself whether you want to link the accounts. All information about Twitch Drops can be found on the official EA Help page, where the steps are explained with images.
