Hello Legends, as you may know PS5 is coming out this year, so I have few questions to ask.
1.I'm sure Apex Legends will be available on PS5, but to be sure, I would like to someone confirm this 100%.
2.If I get PS5, can I use same account from PS4, or I will be starting with new account?
(I dont want to lose all skins and stuff from Season 1 till PS5 come out)
3.If I choose to buy PC instead, is there any way to transform my Apex account from console to PC, and use it normally?
Thank you!

Those are all very good questions, but we don't have any official word on them.
For your 3rd question, it's not something that's possible right now, and we've said in the past that we won't be able to implement cross-progression.
While we don't have anything official yet, it's worth noting that in an article from last year, Mark Cerny mentioned that the PS5 will have backwards compatibility with PS4 games, which is a good indicator for now.
How exactly the transition between generations plays out is yet to be seen, but we'll be sure to let folks know if and when any steps need to be taken.

this will likely determine weather i buy a ps5 or not as i mainly use my ps4 soley for apex as i have a high end pc too but friends play on ps4 , id be happy if the graphics remain the same and we can just take advantage of the higher framerate ps5 offers...crossplay between xbox and ps5 would be a bonus for queu times too

Hello David!
It is already September, PS5 is really coming soon.
Do you have updates for 2nd question from original post?
In my view it is important point to whole PS4 APEX Legends community cause noone would like to lose account progress after update from PS4 to PS5.
I think everyone expect that cross-platform account progress is impossible but inside Sony ecosystem account progress must be saved.
Thanks in advance!

@Ibirby2 Your EA account is linked to your PSN account, so if you upgrade to PS5 and transfer your ps4 account across to PS5 also then logically speaking your EA account and all progress recorded on it will also follow.
Obviously this hasn't been confirmed officially but for it to work any other way would be ludicrous frankly.

Also it’s been stated on other threads on these forums. I think even mod made ones.
