[2020] do i need a new account for playing on steam?

Hi @iTzPotatoPred. 

You can link up your Steam account with an existing EA Account. That way you'll keep your account progress once you start playing through Steam. 

For more information on how to link up the accounts check out the EA Help website.

That means there isn't any cross-progression across hardware platforms. So your progress wouldn't transfer from PC to PlayStation 4, for example. If you're playing on Steam and Origin you're still on the PC platform, so your progress would still be there.

As long as you link your Steam account with the same EA Account you've been using to play the game in Origin your progress will still be there.
