Apex Legends on PS5

Hello Legends, as you may know PS5 is coming out this year, so I have few questions to ask.

1.I'm sure Apex Legends will be available on PS5, but to be sure, I would like to someone confirm this 100%.

2.If I get PS5, can I use same account from PS4, or I will be starting with new account?

(I dont want to lose all skins and stuff from Season 1 till PS5 come out)

3.If I choose to buy PC instead, is there any way to transform my Apex account from console to PC, and use it normally?

Thank you! 🤓

Those are all very good questions, but we don't have any official word on them.

For your 3rd question, it's not something that's possible right now, and we've said in the past that we won't be able to implement cross-progression.

While we don't have anything official yet, it's worth noting that in an article from last year, Mark Cerny mentioned that the PS5 will have backwards compatibility with PS4 games, which is a good indicator for now.

How exactly the transition between generations plays out is yet to be seen, but we'll be sure to let folks know if and when any steps need to be taken.

"not something that's possible right now, and we've said in the past that we won't be able to implement cross-progression" Yet many MANY other companies have been able to implement this without issue. Even with Fortnite, I can jump from the ps4, to the pc then to the nintendo switch, and still retain my progression. EA refuses to do this because its bad for profits, If they allow cross progression, you wont RE-buy the skins nd such you have already invested money into on your primary method of play. Simple explanation with a nonsensical excuse from EA. You guys at EA may THINK the common person fails to know better, but you fail to realize these common people are also the ones they hire to fix your security issues. Stop with the lazy excuse and just admit it, You refuse to do so, because people spend more money like this. Simple as that.

@Daydreamfaze0420 Did you expect EA to care about the consumer?

@Nasher355 so I guess that it is still "normal" if I can't retrieve my progression from my Xbox One on my PS5 ?

@Daydreamfaze0420 Yeah, it's complete BS because my Rocket League stuff transferred without issue from console to PC. I've spent enough on in-games items on my Playstation to pay for the game many times over. If I can't access any of it on PC, rest assured I'll never put another dime into this game. You can find me running around with a vanilla Gibraltar.

@youngskeletorr They said they are working on cross progression and it will come in the future. We just have no idea how long that will be.
