Both will have the same core EA account, and due to this, they won't work for cross-play, our system will see them as they same account, despite one being linked to a Microsoft account.

@Killerpollo97089 No, your Xbox account would still be played on Xbox. If you have a PC account this could now play with Xbox friends, or you can play on Xbox with PC friends.
There's a brief explanation of cross-play here: https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/apex-legends/news/season-6-aftermarket-event- 5 years ago@EA_David This must be addressed asap. There is no way the only solution is to make another account. That is ridiculous and a middle finger up to the community that have supported this game by buying into your product! So I can still play with my son if a 3rd party invites us both independently, how does that work. This just shows it was poorly thought out before going live. As it is it only benefits the PC wait time. Crossplay is a fail for me as all I want to do is play with my family!

Does this mean one account loses all unlocks and settings?
I have a PS4 account and PC account fully progressed, started on ps4 and bought a gaming PC for this game. Didn't see a reason to create a duplicate EA account as its still me.
Now my son wants to squad up (him on ps4 me on pc) but we can't add. If im understanding we should just dump one of the accounts and start over? Is this really the solution to this?

@EA_David Hi, I've been having the same issue as well and I made another account to try to add my xbox account and the same issue arises. I've made sure that they are under different emails so I don't understand why it wouldn't work. Thanks

@Xinc_LT In this case it won't matter that the console email address is separate to the EA account one, unfortunately. As both your Xbox and PC play is attached to the same EA account, you can't invite/add your alternate account directly.
- 5 years ago@EA_David This is really an issue that needs to be addressed. I have my Playstation account, which my son co-oped back when Apex came out. And then I created a PC account to play myself. Now with cross play I have to use a 3rd account to connect the two together (PS4 and PC) so we can play together. It is quite annoying. The underlying system needs to allow for this to work. If the programmed failed to realize this part of the system, and tied it directly to the user name/EA account, they should modify it to allow for that info + the console version tag. This is only going to get worse as you bring in more systems (such as Switch and such).
