Make sure that you didn't unlink the PlayStation account from a different EA Account which would result in progression loss. If you didn't unlink the account from a different EA account and linked it to your main EA Account, then cross progression should work for you.
As for receiving cross progression, most users have not received the prompt for merging accounts. But we don't know the time lapse as to when you'll receive the notification for cross progression since they are happening in waves to have a smooth transition.
I'm also waiting as well since the season started. But eventually it will get to you.
If you'd like more information on cross progression, you can check this quick guide: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/A-Quick-Guide-to-Apex-Legends-Cross-Progression/m-p/13148659#M242801
If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
- @TheRedLion93 Ohhh I seee, yeah I didn't unlink the account so I hope I get the cross progression soon
Hi what do you mean by this? My playstion account needs to be linked to my ea account? I guess I’m not understanding. The same thing just happened to me as the original poster.

As I explained to @cegh2003
When you unlink a platform from an EA Account and try to link it to another EA Account, you lose progression.
As long as you don’t unlink any platform accounts from your main EA Profile, cross progression will do its thing once you get the notification. And it will work with whatever amount of platform accounts you have linked in that main EA Account.
Do you have a separate issue?So if you unlike and relink to your main EA account you lose everything?, I was under the impression you wouldn’t get paid for items ie. cosmetics but badges would cross over at least.
I had my prompt appear then said itd take a few mins. Took me to lobby and nothing changed. Confirmed all my emails and links are correct. My guess is its 50 new bugs. feels bad for them its been a fire out of the gate and down the road
me too
It seems like this is a new issue with cross progression that I am first hearing about.
Please post these issue in this thread so the Dev Team can see if this is a new thing going on for you guys: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Issues-after-Cross-Progression-is-activated-on-your-account/m-p/13224060#M109689
I had this same issue and thought it was just me got the thing saying it will take a couple minutes and nothing
- @Raven837 same thing here
Same thing for me
Wait so my account that I unlinked and relinked to the right account about a year ago just straight up loses its stuff?
- @DaRealLeeHarvey
Any platform accounts that you unlink and re-link to a different EA Account can result to loss of progression due to the saved data that is in your EA Profile (Progress & Stats)
All platform accounts must be under the same EA Account previously so that Cross Progression can take into affect.Hey just got the prompt around 10 minutes ago for cross progression on my pc clicked into the lobby and didn't receive any cosmetics/badges/currency, my main account is on the ps4, lots of cosmetic and lots of badges, I switched to pc a few days ago when I heard the news of cross progression. Is there anything else I need to do or is this just a glitch? And yes i have made sure the same accounts are all linked, everything is working on my end.
- @DaRealLeeHarvey
Regardless, you will lose progression if you unlink any of your platform accounts from either/or EA Account.
I have my Ps4 account and pc account linked and i got the message " cross progression is here" then i waited but legit nothing happend.
And im 100% i even looked it up again my PS4 account and pc account are linked to the same EA account.- @xIRealkaneki
The prompt will appear in the main menu before logging into the lobby on Apex Legends.
I was tricked before when I saw the message as well 😛
But what you saw was the announcement in the game where they usually make announcement messages for the game.
then how would you link two ea accounts together? I unlinked my xbox account from a ea account and linked it to my pc acc and it says i have a console account on my banner in game? have i lost everything?
- @Kuljs
You will only lose progress when unlinking a platform account from either/or EA Account since there is saved data in your EA Profile with all your progress.
Unfortunately, there is no way to merge 2 different EA Accounts for cross progression to work. Only platform accounts that are linked under the same main EA Account can cross progression take into affect.i unlinked it before cross progression would that change anything? And does that mean when u start apex on my pc a get a fresh account does that mean ill have to log in into my xbox account or i loose everything?
