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.
@EA_DavidWhat about the unlocked cosmetics and progression? If a new EA account was made, one of the platforms would have to start all over, which is terrible news for those (like in my situation) who spent countless hours on both platforms to level up and obtain wanted cosmetics, just to start all over again. Some may even spend money on both platforms, which makes this issue very unfortunate for them. A fix could mean that the systems for cross-play should allow adding yourself as a friend on Apex specifically (I think). At it's current state, you can't do that, so people who want to play with a family member (which seems to be the most common reason to having this problem) on two different platforms cannot play with each other because both platforms are linked with the same EA account. It may not be an option to make a new account just to use the cross-play feature to some people.
I strongly suggest doing something about this so players who can't create a new EA account for whatever reason can still play with their family member or whoever, even if both platforms are using the same EA account. Thanks for reading.
