The implementation of cross-progression will happen in phases, not all at once. So, players might not immediately be able to merge their accounts when Apex Legends Season 19, named Ignite, launches. An in-game prompt will guide you, and while you don't have to start the process right away, your account will eventually migrate automatically.
Account merging is part of cross-progression but differs depending on the content and features.
Apex Coins remain the same across PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. For Nintendo, purchases and earned coins remain exclusive to that platform. Crafting Materials and Legend Tokens are bound to your EA Account, with the same balance across platforms. Heirloom Shards follow this pattern too.
Content and Cosmetics
Unlocked Legends and inventory will be consistent across platforms, except for platform-exclusive items.
- Limited to PlayStation: PS+ Pack Items.
- Limited to Xbox: Xbox Founder’s Edition, Xbox Gold Items.
- Limited to Nintendo: P.A.T.H. Legendary Skin.
Progression
Certain aspects of progression differ based on your primary platform:
- 1st Party Platform Achievements/Trophies: Locked to each platform, but progress-based achievements/trophies will unlock after account linking.
- Ranked Leaderboards: Platform-specific.
- Challenges Completed (Rewards/BP): EA Account-bound, the same across platforms.
- Prize Tracks and XP: Handled similarly to Challenges.
Note: The stats can't be merged, so they will default to your primary profile. Some badges tied to stats from other profiles merged into your EA account may not be available.
FAQ
Here are some frequently asked questions related to the Apex Legends Season 19 cross-progression introduction:
1. Can I opt out of cross-progression?
- No, it's mandatory.
2. Will my Apex Coins, Crafting Materials, and Legend Tokens add up?
- No, only your primary account's resources and content will carry forward.
3. What happens to my levels?
- The highest-level account becomes your main account; you can't choose.
4. How are Apex Coins treated on each platform?
- Coins from PC, Xbox, and PlayStation merge into one wallet; they can be spent on any of those platforms. Nintendo Switch's Apex Coins remain separate but non-exclusive content purchased on Switch is shared across platforms.
5. How do cosmetics work across platforms after cross-progression?
- Most content is available on all platforms, except for platform-exclusive items and certain stats-tied content. Duplicate content on multiple profiles won't be refunded.
