Apex Legends is finally getting cross-progression

While we may be past the peak of the battle royale zeitgeist, Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends continues to go strong, with the free-to-play title set to see its 19th Season go live on the 31st of October. Alongside the many expected additions set to arrive with Apex Legends: Ignite, the team revealed that the game will finally get cross-progression upon the launch of the new season.

Making the announcement on their blog, Respawn Entertainment said “With the launch of Season 19, we’re excited to roll out Cross Progression in a phased deployment across existing platforms in Apex Legends. Keep an eye out for an in-game prompt to initiate the Cross Progression migration which will bring together your content and progression.”

Having been a long time coming, it is exciting to see that Apex Legends will finally be getting cross-progression. That said, it is worth noting that there are some limitations to the migration – especially with regards to cosmetics and in-game currencies, namely:

• PS+ cosmetics are limited to PlayStation
• Xbox Gold and Founder Edition cosmetics are limited to Xbox
• The P.A.T.H. Legendary Skin is limited to Nintendo
• Apex coins purchased on Nintendo’s platform remain exclusive to the console (PC, Xbox and PlayStation meanwhile will share a single wallet)

The full list of limitations can be found HERE, but even with these stipulations in place, it is exciting nonetheless to see that Apex Legends players will finally be able to share their overall progression across any and all platforms – even if it did take nearly 5 years to happen.
