How to protect your EA App game library while you are alive

There is no beneficiary designation, and no authorized-user or beneficiary mechanism for the game library.¹

EA does not offer a family-pooling or shared-library program for the EA app. The account is personal and "not for sharing," and an EA Account is intended for one person.¹

EA Play is tied to the individual EA Account and its linked platform account, not a household, and a membership joined through Steam, Epic, PlayStation or Xbox is managed by that store rather than by EA.²

Family and teen account tools in the EA app cover parental controls and a Family Activity Report of a child’s or teen’s transaction history. They govern supervision and spending visibility, not shared ownership of a library.³

There is no authorized-user mechanism for the game library, and sharing account credentials can lead to suspension or termination.¹

EA Help states that "merging accounts isn’t always possible" and that even when it is, "you can’t move your games or platform accounts to another account yourself"; any move is agent-assisted.⁴

A move between accounts may require unlinking, is blocked where either account carries a ban, and is subject to age-rating limits around child accounts.⁴

The Terms of Sale provide that "When expressly authorized by EA in writing, certain EA Content may be gifted, traded, and/or transferred."⁵

EA Account settings, under Security and Privacy, offer a download of your EA data, usually ready in under two hours; purchased games, expansions and downloadable content appear under Library in the EA app.⁶

The Order History tab in EA Account settings lists each transaction with its date, order number, description, status and price, and the Terms of Sale tell holders to "save a copy of your history for your records."^{7, 5}
