This is going to be a long one fella´s so hang tight !
So I´m probably not the only one out there that has spent a bit (too much?!?) money on skins and cases in Apex, but you know it’s important too look good while dropping into an arena that in real life would break the Geneva Convention and multiple human rights! xD After saving up money for a while I finally got enough to buy a gaming-pc. I put my PS4 on the shelf and walked into the light, and haven’t regretted it once! (Don’t want to start another Console Vs. PC- war! We can all be friends! <3 )
After hooking my computer up I figured I would jump on Apex Legends for a few games. I eagerly awaited as the main menu popped up and the good old theme song started playing. " Finally time to get back into running around like a maniac screaming: "FASTER! FASTER! FASTER!" :D
Sadly my eagerness and excitement would come to an abrubt end as I couldn’t find any option to transfer progress from my console account! It didn’t take me more than a google search to figure out that my dream of playing Apex Legends with 120+ FPS with my old account would maybe be just that.... a dream...
If anyone wondering if I bought a 1500$ gaming computer just to play Apex, just chillax! I had other uses for it aswell!
Anyway....
After some more digging on the big "G" I found out that lead producer Drew McCoy has confirmed that cross-play is coming (no date yet), and I hoped that there was also some kind of hint of being able to link the accounts together aswell.. but no there weren’t Apparently Apex Legends weren’t designed to handle cross-play and -platform from the beginning therefore it is such a big job for the devs.
Personally I would say that with big competitors like Epic Games with Fortnite, that support cross-play AND CROSS-SAVE, Respawn really should’ve thought this one through. We also have other companies like Bungie with Destiny 2 that let players link their progress together and play on one account across multiple platforms. Even Activision with COD MW has this feature...
So..... if any devs at Respawn read this: Please, please! If you’re bringing out cross-play you should do everything you can to make it possible for us old console guys (or maybe from PC- to console-guys) to bring our stuff with us across platforms! I know that there is so many players out there that really want this feature, and waiting on that to jump back on again! It could give the game another great boost, as we have seen with Season 4 now!
Thanks for reading <3

I want to know who we have to suck * or * to get Cross saves on apex legends. A lot of people have spent hundreds and even thousands on their game and they have the nerve to not allow those users to take their items and use them on any system. It's * and shady af. It's been requested since day one and until we as a community make enough noise to force their hands, they will never do it because they want all that extra money they might make by people swapping systems.

@R3FZYCrossplay has been confirmed to be coming this fall aswell as support for nintendo switch, cross save however im not sure about you would assume it would be included with crossplay but it may not be

I feel like the reason you can't do that is that you need PlayStation network or origin to add friends plus crossplay isn't A thing so mabey when they add crossplay you can transfer.

@R3FZY Unfortunately cross progression/cross saves will not be supported alongside crossplay later this year.

I couldn't agree with you more. I've spent atleast a thousand dollars on this game on my xbox before I made the switch to pc and I literally dont want to play the game I've invested that much into just to not get cross over support.. I hope respawn gets over there little money hunger and just does the right thing.. i would gladly spend more money on this game if I knew I still had everything I've already got which before season 4 I had every legendary weapon in the game... thats alot of skins.. not to mention all the character skins.. heirlooms.. who would want to spend all that time and money again to level up another account when you shouldn't have to?? crazyy
