    When you unlink an account, there's a 60-day wait before you can add a new account on that same platform. There is also a 60 day wait period to add the platform account you unlinked to a different BHVR account.

    I should also mention, I haven't been able to log in to my PlayStation account through my PC for months. I have to log in to my PlayStation account through my phone, for some reason the mobile version of the website works.

    Cross-Progression Release FAQ – Dead by Daylight

    From the FAQ, once an account is linked it cannot be unlinked and a new one added. That's not possible I'm afraid. And if the accounts have been synced, they are unable to be unsynced.

    The 60 day wait was something that was only the case before Cross-Progression was implemented, it no longer applies.

    Wait, I thought accounts only couldn't be unlinked if cross progression was actually acitvated? That's what the FAQ stated for a while even after cross-progression was released.

    So, if a platform account is added to your BHVR account in any way whatsoever, that's permanent?

    Edit: I just want to add, if that's the case, that's really bad. PlayStation login has been broken on PC since before cross-progression went live. There's a "Can't connect to the server. (18.f16ac917.1724794012.7cd904c4)" for everyone. This makes it very easy for something to go wrong when trying to link a PlayStation account to a BHVR account. I understand not being able to unsync accounts, but not being able to fix it when an incorrect account is linked is seriously awful.

    Nintendo accounts aren't very friendly for linking, either. They don't show usernames/account details.
