@denogginizerI noticed that. Not optimal, given you have paid for the game twice!

Roger. I bought a second copy because there is no in-game VOIP on console and thus chose to buy the Xbox version so I could utilize party chat with friends.

Product: Battlefield 2042
Platform:Xbox Series X
Please specify your platform model. Microsoft Xbox Series X
Are you using any software with an overlay? No

In which game menu were you when the bug occurred? Store and Loadout
Please select your region North America
On which server did this happen?
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
Summarize your bug Year 1 Pass Purchased on PS5 copy of game is not crossing over to XSX copy of game.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? If content is purchased on one console, it is supposed to be accessible on other platforms.
What happens when the bug occurs? My loadouts reset if I select any year 1 content on PS5 that cannot be found on XSX.
What should be happening instead? Per your advertising, purchases and progress are accessible all platforms linked by the same EA account.

Per your game description in the News articles, purchases made on a PlayStation are accessible on Xbox and PC and vice versa. This is not currently working. Year 1 pass content purchased on my PS5 is not crossing over to my XSX game. Progress is crossing over. Any year 1 pass content used in loadouts on PS5 disappears on XSX and resets the loadout to its base causing me to have to reselect my options. Currently opting out of using this content on PS5 to avoid impacts on XSX

Hey @denogginizer,

There is indeed cross-commerce/cross-progression in Battlefield 2042, however, it is stated as follows:
"While there are a few limitations to cross-progression we want to make you aware of, such as Special Edition cosmetics, the Digital Artbook & Soundtrack, unspent Premium Currency and pre-order items not carrying over, we’re excited about giving you the freedom to play and progress wherever you choose to play."

More information can be found on our website.

Regarding the Year 1 Pass; more information on the Passes to come in the future! Keep an eye out on our official channels for news & updates!

So, you are saying the Year 1 pass will not cross over and I will have to purchase it separately on Xbox in order to access content?

@denogginizer, at the moment there is, unfortunately, no specific news available if the Year 1 Pass will carry over or that it has to be purchased separately on the platforms you play the game on and want to make use of the Pass, therefore I have mentioned: more information on the Passes (how/what) to come in the future! Keep an eye out on our official channels for news & updates. 🙂

I suggest you make that distinction of the year pass not being a “purchase” that crosses over from the platform you purchased it on to others. I bought the XSX version under the false impression that a year 1 pass was “purchase” and would be accessible. To be honest, I feel mislead given that the Year 1 pass is the only purchase one can make for BF2042.

Very misleading, I agree.

Can confirm that using Year 1 Pass content on one platform causes loadout resets when playing on other platforms. Stats carry over, but the cosmetics and gun loadouts reset to baseline when you load into a new game. I have had to unselect all cosmetics on PS5. Basically, buying the year 1 pass and two copies of the game on different platforms is negating the only available year 1 pass content. Hardly worth the extra $40 paid early. But I guess once you have that money, it is not a big enough concern. I will not buy a second year 1 pass. Ridiculous.
