Bring cross-save/progression to Apex Legends! Plz! I beg u!

This is going to be a long one fella´s so hang tight ! 🙂


So I´m probably not the only one out there that has spent a bit (too much?!?) money on skins and cases in Apex, but you know it’s important too look good while dropping into an arena that in real life would break the Geneva Convention and multiple human rights! xD After saving up money for a while I finally got enough to buy a gaming-pc. I put my PS4 on the shelf and walked into the light, and haven’t regretted it once! (Don’t want to start another Console Vs. PC- war! We can all be friends! <3 )
After hooking my computer up I figured I would jump on Apex Legends for a few games. I eagerly awaited as the main menu popped up and the good old theme song started playing. " Finally time to get back into running around like a maniac screaming: "FASTER! FASTER! FASTER!" :D 
Sadly my eagerness and excitement would come to an abrubt end as I couldn’t find any option to transfer progress from my console account! It didn’t take me more than a google search to figure out that my dream of playing Apex Legends with 120+ FPS with my old account would maybe be just that.... a dream... 

If anyone wondering if I bought a 1500$ gaming computer just to play Apex, just chillax! I had other uses for it aswell! 😉
Anyway....
After some more digging on the big "G" I found out that lead producer Drew McCoy has confirmed that cross-play is coming (no date yet), and I hoped that there was also some kind of hint of being able to link the accounts together aswell.. but no there weren’t ☹️ Apparently Apex Legends weren’t designed to handle cross-play and -platform from the beginning therefore it is such a big job for the devs.
Personally I would say that with big competitors like Epic Games with Fortnite, that support cross-play AND CROSS-SAVE, Respawn really should’ve thought this one through. We also have other companies like Bungie with Destiny 2 that let players link their progress together and play on one account across multiple platforms. Even Activision with COD MW has this feature...

So..... if any devs at Respawn read this: Please, please! If you’re bringing out cross-play you should do everything you can to make it possible for us old console guys (or maybe from PC- to console-guys) to bring our stuff with us across platforms! I know that there is so many players out there that really want this feature, and waiting on that to jump back on again! It could give the game another great boost, as we have seen with Season 4 now!
Thanks for reading <3

    Hey all

    According to a blog post on cross play beta, the developers will have something to say on cross progression with the launch of Season 7, so keep your eyes peeled on the Apex Legends Twitter, website and YouTube channel.
