Players are facing issues in games, including Need for Speed Unbound, Battlefield 2042, FIFA 23, Madden 23, and Apex Legends. Most players are encountering these errors on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
What Causes SSL Error in EA Games on PlayStation
You can face this issue if your EA account is not connected with your console id, which in this case is the PSN ID. So, if the PSN account on your PlayStation is not connected to the EA account that you are using in-game, then problems like SSL connection errors can interrupt your gameplay.

You will be pleased to know that EA’s community manager has already addressed this issue on the EA help forums and has come up with a simple solution to eliminate the SSL connection error on your PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 while playing the multiplayer EA games:
Hi folks,
Thanks for reaching out. This is on our radar and we’re looking into it. In the meantime, there seems to be a workaround. Could you give the following a try please:
- Close the game
- Go to ea.com and choose to Sign In.
- Choose your console’s login option.
- Follow the instructions and link your console and EA accounts if prompted.
- Start the game back up.
That may do the trick but if that doesn’t help, could you try another workaround that may help those with Login Verification active.“
