Premium pass does not transfer between platforms
So originally purchased ultimate on my xbox my xbox has premium pass however low and behold ps5 does not the pass is tied to your platform account not EA really bad move

It's been like that since day one. The pre-order bonuses and the few extras you got from day one with the gold edition were also locked to the platform you bought them on.
So unless its a bug that has been there since day one without ever beeing adressed, then I would assume its ment to be that way.
The battle pass is considered an in-game purchase though, since you have to buy it with Battlefield Currency. DICE and EA stated multiple times that your in-game purchases follow you to any platform you play on.
It makes no sense to make someone buy the battle pass multiple times. Not even Call of Duty makes their players buy those battle pass multiple times. The COD battle passes are available on whatever platform you're playing on after purchasing it once.
Editing my post to add the screen shot from EA's own blog post about cross progression in this game. It says purchases carry over to other platforms and the battle pass is obtained via an in game purchase. You buy it with Battlefield Currency. The battle pass is also not listed in the excluded items list. So according to the information EA has provided, it should transfer across platforms after purchasing it only once.
I didn't purchase it with coins mine was through ultimate edtion on xbox however its only active on xbox and only gives free tiers on playstation from what ea rep said the pass doesnt transfer only store items like skins
It doesn't matter if you purchased it with Battlefield currency or with the Ultimate Edition. The Season 1 battle pass itself is purchasable with Battlefield Currency, which makes it an in-game purchase. And according to EA's blog about cross progression, it's supposed to be available on all platforms if you've purchased it once.
There's no way they would make Ultimate Edition owners buy the battle pass twice but let Standard Edition owners that bought the pass in game have it cross platform. They've made an error somewhere and need to fix it. No other cross progression game makes their players purchase their battle passes more than once.
Why has my comment been merged into a thread from over a year ago? How is this topic supposed to be answered and fixed if it's suppressed into a thread that has nothing to do with what I'm talking about? Wtf

Hi all,
Thanks a lot for updating this thread with new reports.
I have a question for you all; once you make progress on the platform where you've actually bought the Pass on (so either standalone (if this is an option) or via the Gold/Ultimate Editions of the game), finish a round & close down everything --> and play the game on the other platform you own the base game on, does that progress carry over for you and does it show the same progress etc.?
I would also really appreciate it if it's possible for you to maybe post some screenshots of the Battle Pass (progress) of what you're seeing on the platform where you own the pass on & the platform where you only own the base game. Many thanks in advance!
So EA/DICE don't know if their own battlepass is linked between platforms? Odd suggestion but have you tried testing this? I have a feeling someone at DICE has a PS5 and XSX and can give one of their own workers copies of their own game for both platforms. Then, only have a single battlepass for one of the platforms (lets just say XSX) and see if they can link their PS5 account to EA and see if the BP works? I mean, I'm no tester but I feel like this is a yes or no answer. Maybe even try it from the tester's own home so that it is physically separated from the DICE network. Dunno, just spit-balling over here.
