Hey @xNitroHazardx
You can use the same EA account to play on your PC and Xbox (by connecting it to your Microsoft account), but I'm afraid you won't be able to share the progression between those 2 platforms 😳

EA Staff (Retired)While it's possible that cross-play will appear in Apex Legends, unfortunately Respawn's Lead Producer Drew McCoy already confirmed that it would be impossible to implement cross-progression and cross-purchase into the game as well due to the way systems were set up early on.

@EA_Ataashi if crossplay is introduced without progression then EA and Respawn will have put Apex at a serious disadvantage, let me explain why.
I have 3 sons on different platforms as well as their mates on mixed platforms. Other games come out and there is a buzz at the time but guess what, they all default back to Fortnite within 6 weeks or so. Why is this? Simple their default position is always play with their mates on the game that lets them do it.
So why cross progression? Simple when they go to their mates, Nans, Uncles, cousins house they simply plug in the Switch to a TV and away they go again on Fortnite with all the goodies they had on whichever platform they were on. Also one recently switched to Xbox in the knowledge he would keep all his Fortnite inventory. Lastly for a F2P game why not have cross progression, it makes total sense and doesn’t make the consumer/parent feel they are being totally mugged off.
Epic set the bar for all to follow and anything less will just fall short. I guarantee once the new Fortnite season pass comes out people will go back to it, same way it happened with Black Ops. Fortnite will be king of the hill until other games makers compete on an equal footing and realise C&P is the only way to go now.
is there a way for us to bring this up to the right people?? If theres no cross progression, theres no real reason for me to continue playing. This game is fun, but... cross progression needs to be a thing, especially if its going to compare with games that allow cross progression.
I.e ; fortnite, smite, paladins, realm royale, rocket league etc
while only fortnite is in the same genre, i feel like playing those games is worth more of my time, because my money has been already spent there, why not continue spending money where i can access my content on any device.
I completely agree. There should definitely be cross-progression and it limits how much I want to play the game even though I think it's a great game. It's hard because I play mostly on my xbox but I have some friends on PC I would like to play with but I dont really want to due to my PC being a low levels account. This is for sure going to be a problem that respawn needs to address.
I agree with this, while I am mostly an xbox player my friends started on PC. Because one of their xbox's is starting to die they stayed on PC and now I am being forced to move to PC to play with my friends and in turn loosing all my progression and cosmetics. Because of this I feel like this game is not worth my time to play and even spend a penny on.
Cross progressions means they would lose out in the money it takes to play different accounts on different platforms. If you think about it from a business standpoint cross progression is bad for business. That’s why you will never see it in a game from EA. Just being realistic.
Rocket league doesn't have cross progression
hey wondering if you could help. it doesn't give me an option to connect my ea account in apex it just logged me in when I first downloaded it and never asked for any sign in. now while trying to find out a way to get the twitch prime pack I'm having trouble connecting the account on my ps4 to that of my twitch and apex
Same thing happened to me, connected my ea account but loot isn’t there?
Then I suggest he start over. This is basic now, Fortnite isn't the only cross platform game either. I'm in no way happy about this impossible feat. especially when so many games are following suit. It won't be long before all games are cross-platform, why would you purposely say you're not going to try?
How this isn't possible is mind boggling. Epic didn't release their game to cross play in the beginning yet pulled this feat off flawlessly. Why does something so important to fans of Apex seem to not be a priority at all for EA or Respawn? It is sickening to see them releasing more and more "cash grab" content while ignoring a serious concern for a lot of us fans. EA literally killed this game by releasing a battle pass before cross play.
We're no priority, we're (let me quote) "FREELOADERS"! How fool I was happily planning to spend 120 eur on the next collection event (Fight or Fright) but they kept the lootboxes at 7eur instead of droping to 4-5 as community asked. There will be no cross platform progression, there will only be greed!
If fortnite did it how is it impossible? You really don't know what the word impossible means do you
aka: we want you to spend as much money as possible on every console. After all it is EA, money grabbers who never make anything new in their sports games.
