Re: Continuing in my PS4 Apex Legends progress on PC

@Samie6452 To confirm, The ability to carry progress and items from one platform to the next is generally referred to as cross-progression. Currently, Apex Legends does not support this.

What this means is you can link a platform account like PSN to EA then transfer it over to a PC but items will not carry over. However, Apex does have cross-play where players can join up and fight each other from different platforms.

  • Thanks for the response!

    So how is it possible that cross-play is available but cross-progression is not? Is it going to be available?
    If I wont be able to load up my account on my PC, I am not going to play Apex anymore because there is no point in starting over. I have items from season 1-2-3 etc., collectibles and skins.

    Please let me know if there are is any way of doing this, thanks!

    Best regards,
    Sam

    Hi @Samie6452 To answer the first part of your question, it's mainly a technical issue if one or more of the cross feature is allowed. If a game is developed without them, Devs have to work toward adding in those features, current cross features we've seen in gaming being: Cross-play, Cross-progression, Cross-commerce, Cross-Save.

    Our Developers for Apex have mentioned they are looking at this feature however no official information has been shared so I cannot say if or when it may be available. I would recommend keeping an eye on Apex's social media channels and Trello board for any major game changes or announcements.

    it cant be that much of a issue if games like rocket league, fortnite and destiny have all of those and they didnt have it a launch either. Destiny brought cross progression 2 years after the game was released, apex slacking rn.

    @rrWick 

    It's a fairly involved process, but fortunately we should be seeing the implementation of it later this year.

    The various complications that need to be considered were discussed a bit more in this post from last year if you'd like a bit more insight.

    Definitely something a number of us are looking forward to as well, thanks for hanging in there!

  • Ok so its later this year, any more news about cross-platform progression, right now in 2023 with this quote from you and Twitter in Feb 2022 stating "cross-platform progression will be implemented later this year" I will no longer play apex in 2023 if I don't have atleast the option to play one account on all my platforms. Please if you can give me anymore info on cross-platform progression it would be greatly appreciated.
