Re: Does your steam email have to be the same as your EA and Xbox for cross to work?

Hey @Wryith,

Your Steam account needs to be connected to the same EA account as any other platforms you're wanting to play with Cross Progression, but it doesn't matter which email is used for the account.

You can take a look at your EA account page here to see which other platforms are linked. 

If you're seeing everything there, you'll be all set once Cross Progression is activated on the account.

Keep in mind that if your Steam is linked to a different EA account entirely, you won't be able to transfer the progress to a different EA account.

    @EA_Mako - Thanks for clarifying! My EA account has my Xbox and Steam account linked so I should be all good to go! I appreciate the quick reply!

    Have a wonderful weekend!

    I've only played Apex Legends through Steam. If I'm updating the email address for Steam, do I have to update the email address on this site or elsewhere to make sure that Steam and Apex Legends are still synced up or is that not an issue? In other words, does changing the Steam login email interfere with me being able to access my Apex Legends account on my Steam account and does changing the EA login email interfere with me being able to access my Apex Legends account on my Steam account even if the only client I've used to play AL is Steam; or since they're still linked together on Steam it doesn't matter?
