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
Forum Discussion
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.
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.
I have the same progress on both systems. But on where the standard is, there is all shown as logged. And there is no icon like premium pass is active.
To unlock, i must get one step on the platform with ultimate.
I don't understand why Dice / EA didn't activate the year 1 pass for both systems.
Sorry for my bad english.
Hi @EA_Leeuw ,
I have the ultimate edition on my XB Series X. When I play on the xbox, where I have the premium battle pass, any progression I make is also noted on my PC version of the game (standard and no battle pass purchased).
Also, any progress made on my PC version of the game, is carried over to the xbox however, I need to rank up at least once on the xbox for it to give me the unlocks associated with the premium tier of the battle pass that I should have gained while playing PC
Once I receive the unlocks via the xbox, I am able to use on the PC.
- @SirFragALOT75 This is great but like why make it such a hassle? Like why force players to rank up on one just to unlock the items on the other? Why not just give access to it on both consoles?
