How can I set up cross progression in 2025?

I've been an apex player on play station since the game came out, and I spent about 4 years playing... after I sold my play station I didn't play again. The last time I played was on a friend's PS5 a...

Heya,

So just to clear some stuff up, Cross Progression has fully rolled out, this means that in-game progress is now stored on the EA Account.

This means that in your case, the EA Account that your PSN account is linked to, should hold all the progress.
Now as you mentioned that the EA Accounts you logged in on, do not have a PSN account linked to it, it's likely that those aren't the right accounts (Unless you have unlinked your PSN Account from your EA Account a while back)

To start, I'd recommend logging in on the EA Site using your PSN account.
If it's still linked, it should log you into the correct EA Account.

Now if just want to play with the progress you made on PlayStation to be available on PC too, you can:

Play the game via the EA App (Using the EA Account login for the EA Account your PSN Account is linked to)
Link a Steam account to that EA Account and launch the game via Steam

It's not really possible to move progress between accounts, so it's not possible to have the progress of your already existing EA Account that you used to play on PC with and your PSN data on the same account.

The problem is that I’m quite sure I have never linked my PSN account to any EA account, since when the cross progression update came out by that time I had already sold my PS4.

If in this moment I link my PSN account to this EA account (the one that i’m using to publish this question), will I get my PS4 progress in PC?

PD: I tried to do what you said of trying to log in on the EA site with my PSN account. I typed in my PSN email and password, but then it told me that they were going to send a verification code to an email. Said email is an email from a relative, and I don’t have access to it, and it’s funny because it’s not the email that I have for my PSN account either. Maybe when cross progression came out, an automatic EA account was created (or rather, EA created it) to store the progress? Or what?

To play the game you are required to have your platform account linked to an EA Account, it would not have been possible to have played the game without having done so; this was also the case a long time ago.

So it's granted that your PSN Account was linked to an EA Account when you were playing a while back. What I've noticed that this usually goes by unnoticed by a lot of console players, as in some cases a new EA Account is simply created when trying to play the game. (I'm not well versed with this process as I don't own a console, but I hear quite often from users on consoles that they aren't aware that their account is linked to an EA Account) So yeah it's like you're saying, seems like they created it automatically.

The thing is, your account progress would be stored on that EA Account. You'll need to get access to that EA Account, either by getting your relative to give you the code so you can move your EA Account to a different email, or by getting EA Support to assist you with it.

Because the data is stored on the EA Account, it wouldn't matter if you were to relink your PSN Account.
Platform accounts only get access to the data from the EA Account they are linked to, so re-linking would result in your PSN Account getting access to the data of a different EA Account, and thus not have the original progress that you made before via PlayStation.

  Perfect, so I guess that's why when I tried to do what you said about trying to log in to the EA website with my PSN account, it told me that it was going to send the verification email to that email from my relative, I guess that would be the email of the correct EA account, the one that IS affiliated with my PSN account and the one that was created when I started playing the game.
  I will contact my relative to get access to that account. I guess that then if I log in on apex on PC with that EA account, I should have all of my progress available as long as I enter with that account, right?
  Thank you so much, you have helped me a lot.
