New Account Cross Progression
This might be a dumb question, but I guess I am a bit confused.
On the blog post it is noted that accounts created after today will not be eligible for the merge. I have had an Xbox for quite a while, but have had no desire to play Apex since I did not want to have to unlock all the legends again. Hence, I have not created an account to merge. If I were to log into Apex today with my EA account, would I not be able to pull over my progress from Playstation to Xbox?
I guess my concern is that since I have not even downloaded Apex on my Xbox that I will not be able to use my progression from Playstation. Anyone have any answers for me on this?
Thanks!!
Hey @StealthFaded,
Good question and definitely one we've been hearing from others as well.
Just to clarify, this is with regards to this portion of the blog post.
Note: to prevent exploitation, any secondary Apex Legends accounts created after Oct 26th for the same EA account, will not be eligible to be merged.
This is referring to the process of merging your content between accounts, not the ability to use Cross Progression.In your situation, let's assume you just have a PlayStation account linked to your EA account, and haven't ever attached an Xbox account. If you then connect a new Xbox account to that same EA account, you'll have access to that content on both PlayStation and Xbox accounts going forward (as well as any future platforms you may link).
What you'd need to worry about in relation to the warning above is that any content you unlock on that new Xbox account before the migration takes place (this is not going to be day 1 for every player) will not be merged with your PlayStation content, as the new account was created after the date in this example.
You're absolutely fine to link a new Xbox account to the same EA account afterwards and use your progression from PlayStation. 🙂
