Caution: If you have active Crew subscription on the linked platform account you are trying to remove, cancel it first as you will not get any new rewards from it once unlinked

- After you successfully removed the restriction, go to the Apps & Accounts (Opens in a new tab) page and select Connect under the platform icon again, then follow the on-screen instructions to complete it.
- If you successfully did that, you can now open a game on your console and you should see all the progress that you have on your main platform.
