Addressing Hi-Rez Account Access Difficulties
⚠️ Cannot Recall Password
Cause: You have forgotten your Hi-Rez Studios account password.
Solution: From the login page at my.hirezstudios.com, click on the Forgot Your Password? link. You will be guided through a process to reset your password using your registered email address.
⚠️ Username Unknown
Cause: You have forgotten your Hi-Rez Studios account username.
Solution: On the login page, select the Forgot Your Username? option. You will typically need to provide your registered email address to retrieve your username.
⚠️ Account Linking Difficulties
Cause: Issues arise when attempting to link external gaming accounts (e.g., PlayStation, Xbox, Steam) to your Hi-Rez account, or receiving errors like 'Can only re-link to the previously linked account.'
Solution: First, ensure you are logging in with the correct platform account you intend to link. If an account was previously merged, it might be permanently bound, preventing linking to a new Hi-Rez account. For persistent issues, especially those related to merged accounts or specific platform restrictions (like certain PlayStation limitations for cross-progression), contact Customer Support for direct assistance.
⚠️ Cannot Unlink an Account
Cause: You are attempting to unlink an external account, but the system prevents it.
Solution: If your external account has 'merged' with your Hi-Rez account, this is often a permanent binding. To discuss options for having an external account unlinked for potential re-linking to a *new* Hi-Rez account, you will need to reach out to Customer Support.
Shielding Your Hi-Rez Digital Identity
- 🔒 Strong Passwords: Always use a unique, complex password for your Hi-Rez account. Combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using easily guessable information.
- 🔒 Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Enable 2FA for an extra layer of protection. This requires a code from a separate device in addition to your password, significantly enhancing your account's resilience against unauthorized access.
- 🔒 Phishing Awareness: Be cautious of suspicious emails or messages asking for your login information. Always verify the sender and only access your account through the official my.hirezstudios.com portal.
- 🔒 Regular Review: Periodically check your account activity and linked platforms to ensure everything looks familiar and authorized.

Resolving Your Top Hi-Rez Account Inquiries
Q: How do I link my SMITE 1 account to SMITE 2?
To link your SMITE 1 account for Divine Legacy rewards and SMITE 2 cross-progression, first log into SMITE 1 on the platform where you have the most progress. Go to the Divine Legacy tab in the in-game lobby and select Link Account. Then, visit link.smite2.com to connect your SMITE 1 account with the platform you'll use for SMITE 2. You will also need to set a Primary Account for SMITE 2 to ensure progress syncs.
Q: Why can't I link my PlayStation account for cross-progression?
While Hi-Rez Studios supports cross-progression on many platforms, PlayStation (PSN) is not included in all cross-progression features due to specific platform policies. Account linking capabilities may vary, and any changes in Sony's participation will be announced on Hi-Rez social media channels.
Q: What does 'Can only re-link to the previously linked account' mean?
This message indicates that your Hi-Rez account has previously 'merged' with a specific external account from a particular platform. Once merged, that Hi-Rez account can only re-link to that exact external account on that platform. It cannot be linked to a different account on the same platform.
Q: What is a Primary Account in SMITE 2 cross-progression?
Your Primary Account is your main account for SMITE 2 cross-progression. Setting a primary account ensures that all your progress, purchases, and unlocks are synchronized across all your linked platforms based on the chosen primary account.
Q: How can I delete my Hi-Rez Studios account or request my data?
For information on deleting your account or requesting your personal account data, you should refer to the Hi-Rez Studios Help Center which contains specific articles on 'Deleting Your Account or Requesting Account Data'.
