Re: EA Play - Xbox Games Pass - Cross Saves

Same here, I have the Xbox game pass ultimate, I'm a pc player. I was playing on my phone and also on my friends pc when I went to go visit. Then when I got back home I was still able to play it on my pc web browser but then saw oh I can download it from the Xbox app with my game pass linked with ea and ea pass. So I click download but then an ea app login pops up, so I'm like okay cool this must want to confirm my account for cross save. It had me download it with the ea app and not Xbox app for some reason and then when it's finished downloading I launch it just to find out I have to start all over. Just like you said then what's the point of having to log in. If it's in partnership with Xbox and I played it on Xbox services a d downloaded it with the Xbox app it should have my cloud save when launching from my Xbox app but it forces me to open and play it with the ea app, like what the point to have both apps open and running just to play one game. This is broken, beyond broken. And like you said we should of been given a warning ⚠️ so we don't waist our time.

Hey @GODsAssassin767,

Something can't be broken if it wasn't a feature or function in the first place. 🙂

That you can get EA Play for PC (EA App) via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, has nothing to do with potential cross-save game functionalities. This is something that is separate. If a game doesn't support cross-save, it, unfortunately, doesn't support cross-save.

Battlefield 2042 is the first full-fledged EA / DICE PC & console title that supports cross-save, cross-progression etc. This is a feature of the game itself & has nothing to do with anything related to EA Play.

However, I understand your (and the other players) feedback regarding this topic.

Thanks.

Hey guys, just a litte +1 here.
I also am looking for cross save support like most of the games do these days. It makes total sense that older games dont support this function but I do expect that mass effect legendary edition supports this. It came out this year. Looking forward to playing on Xbox and continuing on PC when my GF plays PS5!

Thats one of the main benefits of GamePass! Xbox, PC, Streaming, all the same, all the same savegames!

@EA_Leeuwthanks!

@GODsAssassin767 I was just wonder what was going on. Wack though, EA should remaster it with cross-progression then like other games.

Maybe im miss understanding what everybody's saying about cross play progression. But I play on Xbox one and PC using my same save data. I took tried it with ea play but it's cross play progression. I play on my console and im able to play on my gamepass on PC with the same save data. If your on the Xbox app on PC just play it through the cloud and it lets you use your progress from xbox console and vice versa

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.
