Unusual Cross-progression

Will I EVER be able to play apex on PC with my PS4 progress(in the future)? Because apparently, we had to make an account on PC before October 26th so that we're able to GET the progress on PC. And a...

    Well first of all, your PC and PS account needs to be connected to the same EA account (without any relinking, if your PS had one EA account and you made another EA account for your PC then you wont be able to merge those two.

    Second of all, it still doesnt make you ineligible.

    I'll attach a pic from a community manager to clears that thing up 🙂

    So TL:DR unless you have 2 ea accounts, you will be able to use crossprogression, just any progress made on the account made after October 26th will not be included in merge 🙂

That is not true. Because, how will I use cross-progression if I don't get my progress on another platform? I'm not eligible. I will be stuck playing on my PS4/PS5 If i want my progress.

    Yeah I know all of this. what im saying is that this kind of cross-progression should improve in the future to be like any other game with cross-progression that works perfectly at any time. Instead, EA made it 'limited' due to the limited time we had to create and link before it launched. 

    Stupidest cross-progression ever if they do not change it into a more normal one.

      Hm, I don't really understand what you are saying?

      Cross progression works just fine, it's now that they are trying to merge people's many accounts into one "main" account so they don't have a seperate accounts on PS, Xbox and PC.

      If you mean that, you simply want to use your ps4 progress on PC, then that's what's happening right now 🙂

      Also I don't understand you saying "limited", It's not in my opinion it's there to prevent people from simply farming easy apex packs as you do get them more commonly at lower levels. It's there so that people don't get for example easy 100+ packs "free" packs

        It's not true as it has been states many times that it's not a date of inability to cross progress but rather a cut off point of progress being eligible to merge but okay 🙂

        Also if you are saying that you know the topic better than us, what's the point of making a post? You seem to be well informed

      Hi @michinoire,

      Just to clarify, progress can never be transferred between different EA accounts.

      Linking your account prior to October 26th would have made no difference in this case, as it was originally linked to a different EA account.

      Since progress cannot transfer between completely separate EA accounts like this, that still would not have been possible to transfer regardless of when that was unlinked.

      We have a bit more information on this in the FAQ below as well as what @rallen1518's correctly stated.
