How does Crossplay and Crossprogression work in Apex Legends?

Apex Legends, developed by Respawn Entertainment, the creators of TitanFall, is a battle royale game. It was published by Electronic Arts (EA) and was released on February 4, 2019, for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox. Since May 17, 2022, it has also been available on Nintendo Switch.

What is Crossplay and Crossprogression?

One of the standout features of Apex Legends is crossplay. This extraordinary functionality allows players from different platforms to come together and compete in the game's universe. Whether you're on PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Stadia, or Luna, crossplay opens the doors to an extended community of players. You can challenge your friends and compete against opponents from various backgrounds, bringing a diversity of experiences and play styles.

Crossplay allows you to play with players regardless of the platform they are on, whether it's PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Stadia, or Luna. Additionally, your progression is saved as long as you are connected to your account.

As for crossprogression, it allows you to maintain your progression when switching between platforms. This means you can keep your data if you switch from Xbox to PlayStation, or vice versa.

Are these features available in Apex Legends?

Crossplay is available in Apex Legends. To enable it, follow these steps:

• Go to the "Friends" menu.

• Click on "Find a Friend."

• Enter your friend's EA public ID.

• Your friend will receive a notification and can accept your request. Once accepted, you can play together regardless of the platform used.

However, it's worth noting that crossprogression is not yet available in Apex Legends. If you decide to play on a different platform than the one you initially started your adventure on, you won't be able to transfer your progression, achievements, or other account-related elements. This is a current limitation of the game that can be frustrating for players who want to explore different platforms while retaining their previous accomplishments.

Despite the lack of crossprogression, it's important to highlight that transitioning between the Steam and Origin platforms on PC is still possible. These two platforms offer some compatibility, allowing you to transfer your game data from one platform to the other. This means that if you're playing on Steam and decide to switch to Origin (or vice versa), you can still retrieve your progression and continue where you left off.

In the competitive world of video games, Apex Legends has stood out as a battle royale game. It offers an exhilarating gaming experience where you can dive into an epic battle alongside your friends. Face off against other teams of players on a massive map where every step and decision can make the difference between victory and defeat. The tension is palpable as you strive to survive until your team is the last one standing, crowned as the champions of the arena.
