Sadly, as of right now the team working on Apex Legends are not working on and have no plans for cross-progression.

I really hope that it is possible for them to implement this system. Thank god they finally announced cross-play, but cross-progression is just as important in a competitive game like Apex where statistics matter.

I mean, let's look at other BRs. I know, I know, Apex are catching up with the latest announcements for fall/autumn 2020, but there is still one huge part missing. Even, even Realm Royale has cross-progression! ☹️

@CompleatBeet Cross progression is fine. But people are asking them to combine their accounts? That sounds like a serious mess in the making.

@hayhor When cross-progression is announced(assumption), these same people will start whining about how their existing accounts weren't merged.

@BaldWraithSimp If I have an account on xbox and one on pc, why wouldn't I want them merged? They are genuine accounts!

@OldTreeCreeper Well for starters, you will have gained extra apex packs which you get by leveling up and not to mention the rewards that you get from those packs. The only solution is to keep the progress from one of the accounts with the highest levels. And you have double the chance of pulling a heirloom since they are two different accounts.

@BaldWraithSimp that is true,
but if I had 2 accounts I would have earned all those packs, I would have had to put the time in playing to get them. I would still have them as I would have the 2 accounts amyways so I don't see it as a problem.

@OldTreeCreeper After reaching 500, you still put the time in but you don't earn any packs. Anything more than 199 packs is unfair. Having the same packs in two accounts vs having them together in one account is completely different.

@BaldWraithSimp the items in both accounts are already owned, either bought or earned, the only unfairness I can see is that if the combined accounts also combined pack totals towards a heirloom. So I would only allow a single account with the most pack total to go forward as the new combined account pack total, and not combine the 2 accounts pack totals.
Afaik there is no hard and fast rule from respawn to limit the number of accounts a person can have. So this process may involve more than 2 accounts.
