CrossProg and Account Issues

So with the new cross-progression thing this season, I was going to link my PC and PS accounts. Turns out for god knows why, I used 2 separate emails. So, what I want to do is be able to play with my PS account on Steam. I don't care if I lose the PC account there isn't much on it.

If I unlink my Steam from the PC ea account and then link the Steam to the PS ea account, will I then be on the PS account with all the items but be able to play on Steam?

Or should I just wait and hope they have some sort of ea account merge? 

I tried asking this on the reddit but it got removed for some reason. I kinda want answers for the community if any player knows what is happening.

  • Hey @RarePotato30,

    At this time we don't have any plans for transfers between separate EA accounts.

    That said, what you've mentioned here is correct!

    As you noted this will not transfer any progress from the EA account that had your Steam profile linked, as that progress stays with the EA account where it was first earned.

    If that Steam profile is linked to your EA account that has progress from your PSN account, you'll then be able to access that content on any connected platform once Cross Progression is enabled for the account.

  • Ok cool!

    Do you think I should wait for CrossProg to fully roll out?

    I remember hearing something like "Any secondary Apex Legends accounts created after Oct 26th for the same EA account, will not be eligible to be merged."

    Just want to check before I pull the trigger

    Hi @RarePotato30,

    That's simply referring to merging progress, not the ability to use Cross Progression.

    Since progress cannot be transferred between EA accounts, this won't have any impact on your situation.
