EA Play - Xbox Games Pass - Cross Saves

Hi All,

Just got off the phone with Xbox support because I thought something was wrong with my account when trying to access EA titles on PC.

Since EA has started the Xbox Games Pass - EA Play partnership for PC with Xbox play anywhere most users that I've spoken to thought that (just like any Xbox game on PC) when you start it up you'd have all your progress you had/gained on Xbox, but this is very unfortunately not the case at all.

In modern times and especially with this partnership you would think EA would have come up with a solution to this when many other games and companies have cross-play and cross-save solutions.

I do not want to start all over again just because I'm playing on PC now, and Xbox unfortunately also looks bad being attached to this because of EA's choice not to implement a solution for cross-saves into it's account/games system, and these games are advertised under the Xbox app and as a specialty item with games pass. Even the Xbox reps I've spoken to say it's extremely unfortunate for them.

EA needs to fix this as there are a large number of frustrated player, especially with this recent release for games pass on PC.

EA needs cross-saves.

  • Hey @Cokemycolaaa,

    Thanks for your visit to the forums.

    Unfortunately not all EA titles support cross-play and/or cross-progression. Unfortunately, this is not something to 'fix', because it is not broken. It is working as intended because the games were not designed with these features in mind. Apex Legends will hopefully soon support cross-progression, as per the Apex Legends Reddit AMA.

    Battlefield 2042 will be the first title to fully support cross-play, cross-progression and cross-commerce.

    However, I would like to thank you for your feedback and I will make sure to pass it on to the teams.

    P.S. Please also don't post the same post multiple times. Thank you.

    Hey everyone,

    Just a quick reminder: if you want Cross-Save & Cross-Progression to be mandatory features for games in Xbox Game Pass (Ultimate), it's important to let Microsoft know. Your feedback matters!

    Thanks.

    I wholly support your view on this matter. That seems to be the only good reason to have  to sign in to ea on every platform, yet there is no cross save. For instance, I play deadspace remake on  x box, and when i play it on the cloud on pc on my rog ally or my gaming laptop, i can continue my progress.I installed the game on both my pc's and there's no save progress at all, just the option to start a new game, unless i play it through cloud gaming, then my x box and pc cloud progress is right there. Its maddeningly frustrating.
