Apex Cross progression popped up but my account wasnt linked

Hello, Last night I got the pop up for my cross progression on pc and I did not know my psn wasnt linked to my ea for some reason and the cross progression was loading in the items from linked accounts but nothing is linked besides my steam amazon and twitch. I just want to know now that I have linked my psn account to my ea will I ever get my cross progression for that? I'm going to be really upset because I have spent over $1000 between my psn and pc account, $700 on psn. Please somebody be my saving grace, it was my birthday last night to and for that to happen destroyed me.

    Hey folks,

    If you had progress on two separate EA accounts, that cannot be merged or transferred to another EA account.

    Cross Progression allows you to access the content on a single EA account with the platforms connected to that EA account, and cannot be used to transfer progress to a different EA account entirely.

    If you've unlinked a platform from one EA account and linked it to another, you will be able to access the content on that newer EA account with any linked platforms, but those will not bring any content from the original EA account.

    If you lost progress due to the unlink and were wanting that to be restored, you'll need to re-link that platform to its original EA account.

    Hey @xXRomanXx012,

    It looks like your Xbox account was previously linked to a different EA account before being connected to the one you're posting from currently.

    Please keep in mind that this will cause your Xbox progress to be lost, as it cannot be transferred from one EA account to another.

    Feel free to take a look through the guides below for more information on this situation.

    Now that Cross Progression is here: what you need to know - Answer HQ (ea.com)

    In this case it would be best to reach out to support directly so they can make sure the correct account(s) are linked and take a look at any other account issues that may need to be cleared up before you can log in.

    Hey @FG_Noscope,

    There's no way to merge accounts when you're moving a platform from one EA account to another. That progress stays on the EA account where it was originally earned. 

    You mentioned your Xbox account was a lower level and you don't care about that content. Do you have progress on a PC account you're trying to keep? 

  • I logged on to do the cross progression on my pc and went to link my xbox to it but it said error and wouldn't link so i unlinked my xbox from EA then when i tried to redo it it said "Your accounts can’t be linked because your Xbox account R3d Sku1l already linked to your EA Account for e0*****@disabled.ea.com. An EA Account can only be linked to one Xbox account in its lifetime." Is there a way to fix this? and i was trying to make a case for it but i could not find the option to it just kept sending me in a loop and not showing option to make one.

  • Hello.
    According to what you're saying, if my Xbox account was primarily linked to a different email, let's say, for example, Hotmail, and my PlayStation account is linked to a Gmail one, and when cross-progression is announced, I proceed to move my Xbox ID to my Gmail account, where my PlayStation account is linked, it will never be merged because my Xbox account was primarily on Hotmail and now, after the change to Gmail, it won't be.

  • Hey Mako! 

    So when cross progression came out I made the mistake of linking my xbox account to the wrong EA account. Today I was finally able to unlink from the EA account and link it back to the correct account (the one im messaging on). Will it automatically allow me to do cross progression now that it is back linked to the correct account???
