Apex Legends cross-progression explained & how to merge accounts

Apex Legends cross-progression allows you to continue where you left off in the game across various platforms. Let’s delve into the details of it and what it entails for players.

You never know when you could end up switching devices with multiplayer games. But thanks to cross-progression you can play the game on one platform and carry over your progress to another.

This feature ensures that players can access all their essential in-game content, such as weapons, skins, and heirlooms, on any platform by linking their accounts across various devices.

How does cross-progression work

Cross-progression means that players with more than one account in Apex Legends are now offered the chance to merge their accounts in the game.

Merging accounts is mandatory, and the highest level account you own will be the ‘master account.’ Cosmetics and other items from your other accounts will be merged with this one.

When was cross-progression added to Apex Legends?

Cross-progression was added to Apex Legends at the start of Season 19, which began on October 31, 2023.

The availability of this feature on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch means if you have an account on Xbox or PlayStation, you can use this same account on the PC version, and vice-versa.

Players on PC could already link their account to Steam via the EA App and carry their progress over. Similarly, you could already carry your progress from previous console generations (e.g. PS4 to PS5).
