Apex Legends Cross Progression Prompt Came but I got zero items from my xbox acc

I got the cross progression pop-up today and it said "start here" or whatever and I clicked it said "this my take a few minutes" I then was sent to the lobby and received none of my season 1-5 limited time cosmetics that I had on my xbox account. I got no skins or badges from my linked account. And shows that all of my accounts are now under one name but I got none of my cosmetics. Is there a fix that is coming or have I lost 400$ worth of skins, pred badges, heirlooms, and season 1-5 battle pass content...??? Please Help

    In short our progress and money went to waste. I did the same thing with my account a few months ago and I had the same problem as you, Ea doesn't even warn me about it.

  • yes this happend to me too i had a random account linked to the xbox account so i started using it now all my stuff is gone 300$+ all christmas and birthday money ☹️

  • Im currently having the same issue and i got the message saying "please wait a moment" (something along those lines) and it just put me back into the lobby without anything merged.

    I was level 300 and had a heirloom and alot of skins on my main.

    PLEASE HELP

    I don't think so. I used to play on the PS4, which was from season 0 - 4. I moved to PC using origin with the same EA account which obviously means starting fresh an on pc, then moved later to steam using that same email and I kept my progress from origin as well. 

    I don't remember unlinking anything to be specific. I literally just played on different platforms.

    HI @mcJackerr 

    To confirm your progress would be on the other original EA account, this is because progress is stored on the EA account level, not individual platforms like Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, etc.

    To try and restore your content you will need to link it back to that account, this is working as intended. 


    Hi @nFChilis @who_is_mini 

    You can find information about linking and unlinking on our Help Site:

    While I recommend reading both articles, if you check under the "Unlink your platform" > Under the section: Unlinking risks for Apex players

    If you unlink a platform account that you use to play Apex Legends, you might have issues with Battle Pass leveling, item unlocks, and other errors.

    Instead of unlinking and relinking a platform account you play Apex on, we recommend starting fresh on a new account.


    Hello @Big_Smoke9996745 

    To confirm did you unlink your platform from an EA account to link it to the one its currently on? If so, please see the information above. 


    Hey @Drei-Senpaiii 

    You can reach out to our support to confirm this, and further investigate if it was never on another EA account.

  • Yes I unlinked my old main account (my Ps account) from an older email to attach it to my new personal email as I didn't have one at the time (2019).

    But I have some questions 

    1) Will I get another cross progression prompt?

    2) Have I lost my account?

    3) Will I get it back soon?

    Hi @Big_Smoke9996745 

    To answer your questions directly, Yes, No, Depends. 

    To confirm your first question "Will I get another cross-progression prompt?" Are you asking for your older EA account? 

    For your second and third questions "Have I lost my account? & Will I get it back soon?" This will depend on your getting your PSN account linked back to its originally linked EA account. 

    -----

    As mentioned in my post above, Progress is stored at an EA account level so by unlinking your PSN account and linking it to a new EA account you leave your progress and items on the original EA account which is why you don't have anything now.

    To attempt an restore your progress you will need to link the PSN account back to the original EA account. 

    You can find information about linking and unlinking on our Help Site:

    Thanks!
