I re-adjusted some things with my EA acc; Will cross-progression still occur?

Earlier today, I linked my Steam and PS4 accounts to my EA account. In this account, I already have my Xbox account linked. I've seen things about how progress can be lost from unlinking/relinking accounts, but I wasn't worried about this since a majority of my cosmetics, items, etc. were on the Xbox account, which was not moved. I play on PC now. I play on Apex through Steam, so my goal, ultimately, is to have all of my accounts merge so that I can have ALL of my game data on PC. I am now starting to become a bit concerned because, after re-linking the accounts, I entered my game and realized that all of my progress on my Steam account had been reset. I have not received the cross-progression prompt yet, so at first, I wasn't concerned. Plus, I didn't have much to lose on the Steam account in the first place, so I didn't really care. However, now I fear that maybe I messed up something and caused my Steam account to reset entirely. My problem with this is that I don't know if Respawn will count this as me creating an account after October 26th, which would then prevent cross-progression from being initiated. Could this possibly be the case, or can I relax and just continue to wait patiently until cross-progression kicks in for me? Please read and thank you.

  • Hey @Emprvssss,

    While the progress will be lost from your Steam account due to unlinking it from the EA account where the progress was first earned, if you're just wanting to have access to your Xbox progress on Steam and PS4 this will be fine.

    Progress is not transferred from one EA account to another, but linking them after the 26th won't prevent Cross Progression from taking effect - you just won't have the additional progress merged.
