But Respawn is hard at work doing just that.
Apex Legends cross-progression has been described as a “gnarly as hell… problem to solve,” by Respawn, though the issue is on track to be sorted by 2022.
Taking to a Reddit ask me anything (AMA), Respawn’s Ryan Rigney detailed the issue.
“Cross-progression is gnarly as hell in terms of being a problem to solve,” he said. “It’s not only that you have to solve the technical challenge of merging existing accounts, but there are also legal and contractual issues to navigate with purchasing on other platforms.”
Rigney said that the issue will be likely sorted by next year, the same time a current-gen update for the game will also be offered.
“Oh man, I WISH I had an update to share but we can’t say anything definitive at the moment — so can’t spoil anything here,” Rigney said of the current-gen update. “Trust us though, it’s in the works and we’re excited about it too.”
Apex Legends is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4, PS5 and Switch.
