According to a recent FAQ on the Electronic Arts website, Apex Legends developer Respawn will add cross progression to the free to play FPS. The feature will be added to the game with the launch of Season 19, Ignite. According to the developer, players will be phased in to the feature slowly over a period of time. The developer also states that to prevent exploitation, “any secondary Apex Legends accounts created after Oct 26th for the same EA account, will not be eligible to be merged.” Additionally, Ignite will create a new Legend called Conduit. The season is set to launch on October 31 for PC and consoles.
The full details on the feature via the publisher:
With the launch of Apex Legends: Ignite we are excited to be bringing Cross Progression to Apex Legends™. Cross Progression will be rolling out across existing platforms, and players will be phased in over a period of time in order to ensure stability for this anticipated feature.
Keep an eye out for an in-game prompt to initiate the migration to bring together your content and progression. Cross Progression data will be associated with your EA account. Due to the nature of merging accounts across platforms, various aspects of Apex Legends (Apex Coins, Crafting Materials, etc.) will be impacted differently—see tables below. Anyone that does not log in during the migration period will have their account migrated automatically at a later date.
Note: to prevent exploitation, any secondary Apex Legends accounts created after Oct 26th for the same EA account, will not be eligible to be merged.
