Re: EA account not permitted to play online after the cross progression update xbox

Hi @Halo7865 

To confirm do you have a connection issue with any other EA game, or another online game? 

Also, if you have not can we try the following steps?


@DermyC95 To confirm are you on a Series X as well, and have you gotten the message for Cross Progression?

  • Hello,

    my problem is that 2 days ago I received the cross progression notification, but when I clicked on CONTINUE, it took about 3 seconds to load and at the end, it gave me an error that said "THIS ACCOUNT IS NOT PERMITTED TO PLAY ONLINE. SEE EA.COM/UNABLE-TO-CONNECT FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION".

    What I did was close APEX and relaunch the game, I was able to enter the game and the lobby, but the cross progression didn't happen. The message WELCOME TO CROSS PROGRESSION never appeared.

    Currently, I play on PlayStation which is my oldest account, but I have an Xbox account that I used for almost 3 years and it is the one linked to my EA.COM account.

    Please help me with this.

    PSN ID = RD_ROCK_V

    XBOX ID = vRockRD
