They won't do this because of $$$

@Wingmannedbro As I understand it's more of a technical reason than because of the $3.
@cheatercheater00 Sorry, but around launch there was the following comment basically saying cross-progression isn't going to happen.
"Although cross-play is unavailable at launch, Respawn told Eurogamer it "plans to allow players to play with their friends on other platforms". Cross-progress and cross-purchases, however, will never be possible in Apex Legends, "due to the way systems were set up early on" which "can't [be] reconciled after the fact".

- 7 years ago@EA_David hey David, could it be they were talking about progression during a season - i.e. you couldn't progress a season while it's running, by progressing on two or more platforms - while maybe importing past progress could be different?
I'm a programmer myself so I can see the first one being the case, but it's hard for me to imagine why the second one might be difficult :-) (i bet there can be good reasons though)- 6 years ago
Naaaw there's absolutely no reason why they can't make this game cross save as well. Look at epic games. Fortnite been here way longer than Apex and epic kicked open the door for the rest of the devs around the world. Fortnite had crossplay and cross save abilities and have been out way longer than Apex has. So that comment about Alex being launched too early or whatever is a bunch of *. They can allow it happen. Just like they could have been given us cross play. But they are lazy. They won't do it because of they money they will lose. It's all about greed. But they're plenty of people like me, who started on one console and refuse to play it on anything else because it does not support cross and cross play. All my friends who play Apex are on PC and x1. But I refuse to open a * * Xbox. So pc and p4 is what I play on. But I quit playing Apex because I started on PC but everyone I know that plays it plays on x1 and I can't play with them. At the LEAST x1 and PC sound be able to play together. Microsoft opened up that doorway back in Halo days. I used to be on my cousins 360 playing and he'd be on his gaming rig and we'd play just fine. Companies think we're stupid and we believe whatever they tell us. But some of us actually know the truth. They can do it. Without ANY problems. They just don't want to. Point. Blank. Period.

That message was from over a year ago. Could things have changed now?

I asked Alex (Respawn's Social Media Manager) on Twitter and she said "I believe we'll be clarifying that shortly" so we'll know soon, I'm hoping yes
