Cross Platform purchase

I heard that the game will feature cross-progressing, so I'm wondering if I will be able to play it on my PS5 after I purchased it on PC?

    @DiceSpinnerNo.
    Cross-progression and Cross-buying are two different things.
    Cross-progression means that when you play on PC your "stats, settings, progression (unlocks et cetera)" will be uploaded to a server and when you starts on a different plattform like a PS5 you can continue where you left the game and continue with your current progress.
    What you want is "cross-buying", the answer is no because it seems for now only your "in-app" / "in-game" purchases are covered up by "cross-commerce" but not the game license (copy of the game or also known as "Single-Use-Product-Code") itself.

    Alongside cross-play we’re also building cross-progression and cross-commerce for Battlefield 2042, which will be shared across all platforms and travel with you wherever you go. For example, your unlocked progress and purchases in your PlayStation® copy of the game will carry over onto the Xbox or PC version, and vice versa*. "

    If you buy the game on PC you only own it on this platform. 

    So you have to buy it again on Console if you want to continue playing there.

    But your stats and progress will cross over, as long as you play with any Console account that you've linked to this EA ID you played with on PC.
