cross progression

You have to fix the ranked progression, I'm a regular player on the PlayStation platform, but when I choose to play on PC or Xbox, the ranked information and current link don't work, leaving me always as a beginner, other information such as apex coins, legend tokens, metals, etc. work perfectly, please fix this.

    Hey kbcamegahead​,

    This thread is quite old and is being locked here to avoid additional necroposting. Just to reiterate, this is working as intended to have your ranked progression specific to each platform. This reflects the leaderboards that are specific to each platform as well.

    Keep in mind that the end of season rewards you receive are based on your highest rank across all platforms, and you'll be able to use the items showing that rank on any platform. If you're on PlayStation and hit Gold, then go reach Diamond on PC, you'll have the Diamond ranked badge and will be able to use that on PlayStation as well, for example.

    Feel free to create a new thread if there's a subject you're wanting to discuss that doesn't have a more recent topic, thanks!

    Other account information works normally, just ranked does not support cross-progression

  • Heya,

    This is intended behaviour, Ranked is separated per platform as they all have separated leaderboards.
    This means that things like your rank and badges will not progress between platforms.

    but this doesn't make sense, since 100% of players have cross-progression activated, the most correct option would be to increase the number of predators per season instead of limiting the number per platform

    Though console is vastly different from PC.

    Both in control input (Aim-Assist is different between Console & PC) and in performance (FPS / Graphics)
    And PC can have both Controller & Mouse players in a ranked lobby, whilst Console would only have controller users.

    Some might play fine on Console but struggle on PC, so I personally don't think it would be wise to merge those platforms as one ranked platform. If they were to play on PC they would perform worse than the rank they actually are.

    Either way I'm not sure why they chose to do it this way, it could've been for technical reasons and that it just wasn't possible.
    Though in many games there always hangs around that console ranked is different from PC ranked, I don't think that's completely untrue.

    Definitely does suck that people will have to progress from 0 on a different platform, but due to the previous reasons listed, I don't think that it's unfair.

    I agree that each platform has its advantages and rankings, but this could be solved in a simple way, for example, once someone using a console plays in a PC lobby, they would automatically be matched with a PC lobby directly. This way, it would continue to separate console players from PC players and those who play on any platform. Simply put, once an account has played in a PC lobby, it will always be matched with another PC lobby account.     

     

    Simply put, once an account has played in a PC lobby, it will always be matched with another PC lobby account.

  • I agree about the differences and advantages that one platform brings over the other, both in terms of movement and fps, but it would no longer be viable to develop a system that, once a ranked match in the PC lobby is counted, automatically matches you with the PC staff, therefore you would continue to have the target of predators per platform, 

    Simply put, once an account has played in a PC lobby, it will always be matched with another PC lobby account.
