Apex Legends™ Cross Progression

What is Cross Progression?

Cross Progression lets you share your game progress across PC, PlayStation®, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch™. With Cross Progression, you can access your Apex Legends account, progress, and cosmetics no matter what platform you’re playing on. To access your Apex Legends progress on different platforms, your platform account has to be linked to your EA Account. Learn how to link your platform accounts to your EA Account.

How does Cross Progression work?

Your Apex Legends progress is permanently tied to your EA Account. Your progress can’t be moved to a different EA Account after you’ve started playing. If you’re new to Apex Legends, make sure you create an Apex Legends account with the EA Account you want to use and link your platform accounts to it. You’ll have access to Cross Progression as soon as you start playing.Learn more about Cross Progression at ea.com.

Cross Progression for returning players

If you’ve played Apex Legends before, here’s everything you need to know about how Cross Progression might’ve impacted your account.

If you had one Apex Legends account

If you had one Apex Legends account when we introduced Cross Progression, this account is your Cross Progression account. All your content will be on this account.

If you had more than one Apex Legends account

If you had more than one Apex Legends account linked to your EA Account when we introduced Cross Progression, your accounts were merged to create a single Cross Progression account. The profile with the highest account level is now your Cross Progression account.

If you had more than one EA Account

If your Apex Legends progress was spread across multiple EA Accounts, then your accounts weren’t merged. You can use Cross Progression on your separate EA Accounts, but the content from these accounts hasn’t been merged together.

You can’t move progress from one EA Account to another. Unlinking a platform from your EA Account and linking it to another one won’t move your progress.

Can you merge Apex Legends accounts?

Apex Legends accounts and EA Accounts can’t be merged.

Missing content after Cross Progression

There are a few reasons your content might be missing after Cross Progression.

If you had more than one EA Account before Cross Progression, these accounts weren’t merged. Your content will stay on the EA Account you bought or earned it on and can’t be transferred to a different EA Account.
If one of your platform accounts was previously banned, content from that account won’t have transferred in the Cross Progression merge.
If you had more than one Apex Legends account before Cross Progression, you may have lost content from your lower-level accounts.

Lost game progress
